Dassault Systèmes and French designer Patrick Jouin have developed a light-weight and useful chair utilizing the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and 3D printing expertise.
Ta.Tamu, the companions say, serves as a proof of idea for ‘rising generative design processes that mix AI-powered digital twins and the frugal use of supplies to drive the generative economic system.’
The chair is the results of a four-year collaboration between Jouin and Dassault Systèmes. By combining Jouin’s design method with the capabilities of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, they imagine they’ve redefined how a chair could possibly be conceived, difficult conventional design strategies and inventing ‘new methods to minimise matter.’
To push ‘formal and structural limits’, Dassault and Jouin carried out a lifecycle evaluation early within the course of, with the aesthetics of Ta.Tamu being impressed by biomimicry and the structural logic of the human physique. Particularly, the designers had been taking heed of bone density and joint articulation. The result’s a lattice construction that weighs simply 8.6 kilos (3.9 kg), can assist 220 kilos (100 kg), and might be 3D printed in a flat, folded place without having meeting.
Deploying an AI-powered visible twin, the behaviour of the complicated assembled parts had been modelled and simulated, with topological optimisation refining ‘each joint, unfolding articulation, and zone of strain and assist.’ As they progressed via the undertaking, the design was evolving with every change up to date and visual within the digital twin. What Dassault and Jouin have launched this week is what they describe as an ‘optimum design’ the place gesture, perform, and construction converge in a chair that weighs 75% lower than it might have weighed at full density.
“Nature makes use of solely the power and supplies it wants. We needed to use this quite simple philosophy to the event of Ta.Tamu,” stated Jouin. “With the assistance of recent collaborative applied sciences of Dassault Systèmes, we at the moment are in a position to provide you with new concepts and make them potential, creating extra effectively whereas producing much less waste, proper from the design course of.”
“To enhance the world we reside in, we’ve got to alter the best way we produce, design and use supplies. Ta.Tamu represents a name to motion for trade to embrace a generative economic system as a substitute of constant to create with out limits,” stated Anne Asensio, Vice President Design Expertise, Dassault Systèmes. “Ta.Tamu was created with the expertise used to innovate sustainably in industrial contexts. As a science-based firm, we wish to create worth for society in each facet of individuals’s lives via our 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Design processes integrating modelling and simulation from the beginning result in improvements that enhance actual life.”
