A Programming Approach to Drafting
Three months before the
Olympics came to Atlanta AIM approached ASSI about laying out the
aluminum skin panels for the 6 truncated conical shaped columns to
surround Olympic Centennial Park.
|
Rather than
"draft" a layout for aluminum skin panels and hole
placement ASSI created a program that mathematically calculated
the shape and hole placement in the form of a CAD script...
|
This
created a CAD file with a layout for each progressive aluminum
panel on the truncated conical shape. |
|
This created a
series of panels for the entire shape which was then saved to
Computer Numerical Control files and used by laser cutters to
fabricate the panels.
|
A good thing that a
programming solution was used. This 3D CAD file was printed on a
10' piece of paper and shown to the architect. When shown the
layout the architect changed his mind about the spacing of the
holes! Because it was a program, ASSI simply changed the formula
and re-ran the routine.
|
and in time for the Atlanta Olympic
Games...
A monument to stand
the test of time,,, |
designed to illuminate
the night sky. |
ASSI and AIM.
Partnering for excellence...
