Quintain

Quintain Ltd. engaged Delve to raise project density while minimizing daylighting and cost impacts, solving for complex project requirements in a 12-acre mixed-use development on the North East Lands site in Wembley Park, London.

Using Delve, Quintain generated, evaluated, and optimized 40,000 variants that increased the number of housing units (i.e. "unit yield") while preserving quality of environment over an existing benchmark design. By the end of the 8-week engagement, Delve produced 24 high-performing variants that exceeded all goals across unit yield, usable built area, daylight access, sun hours on the ground, and daylight impacts on neighbors.

The first 3D printed steel bridge, MX3D's Smart Bridge, is unveiled today by Máxima, Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, in the city centre of Amsterdam. It is now open to the public in the oldest neighborhood of Amsterdam. 

The futuristic multi-award-winning bridge, designed by Joris Laarman Lab with Arup as lead engineer, is now placed over one of the oldest canals in Amsterdam's red-light district. MX3D kicked off this project in 2015 when it proposed printing a metal bridge with its innovative large-scale, robotic 3Dprinting technology, creating a playful, inspiring example of how digital tools can create a new form language for architectural objects.

With over 10.000 kg of metal 3D printed objects and over 40 man-years of experience since 2014, MX3D is the company that brought large-scale robotic wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and its market to life and made enabling 3D metal printing more flexible, faster and cheaper.

Now, MX3D is ready to transform the market further by launching the first dedicated robotic WAAM software enabling companies, engineers and designers to print end-to-end large-scale 3D metal objects in-house.

MX3D became immediate innovation leader in 3D metal printing by presenting its jaw-dropping 12 meter long fully functional 3D printed stainless steel pedestrian bridge which will soon be installed in the heart of Amsterdam.

Fologram’s software provides designers with a toolkit to create mixed reality experiences within design software they already use, and view and share these experiences through the Fologram app running on mobile phones or Microsoft's mixed reality headsets the Hololens.  Fologram’s clients include leading universities, multinational architectural firms, industrial designers, engineers and artists who using Fologram to create mixed reality applications for full scale construction, public art, architectural fabrication, sculpture, automotive design and visualisation.

Fologram is a software ecosystem that allows Mixed Reality hardware running our standalone application to talk to desktop design software running the Fologram plugin. Geometry and other model information from your design software is streamed to your headset or mobile phone, and spatial information like device or hand positions are sent back in real time. By using this spatial information to trigger changes in design models, designers can use Fologram to build interactive mixed reality experiences. 

A feature rich free mobile version is avaible at https://fologram.com/download, and a 14 day trial for Hololens users.

Grasshopper is a visual programming language and environment that pairs with Rhino 3D, a software program also developed by Robert McNeel & Associates. Grasshopper allows users to build algorithms by dragging and connecting components on a digital canvas. From parametric modeling and fabrication, lighting performance analysis, to building energy consumption, Grasshopper provides an intuitive way to explore design without requiring programming experience.

This project was presented to Ardaena in 2018 by Vikonen Company from Turkey to create an alternative to the process of designing, optimizing and producing manufacturing parts for this project.

Proposal for an alternative design

Caddisfly is a series of tools for Complex Structures and Free Forms Detail Designing. The main idea has been based upon having the process from Conceptual Design, Analyze to Construction on Free Form Structures Automatically by less than 7 clicks. It is being developed by Python and C# both for a better flexibility up and running for different components.

Single layer space frame structures are a bit off chart of challenging projects yet are so amusing to handle via novel computational tools. Ava-Center has been designed by Floyd Motion Architects leading by Reza Daneshmir in Iran. The related structure has been built upon a sub-contractor known as Alusys.ir and Ardaena took part in Form-Finding and Tessellation Optimization processes. No matter how a free-form footprint based structure could be tough to manage for optimized design, in this project we tried to have everything modeled parametric, hence we could control the design alternatives. We did not use caddisfly here but based on the experience we got, Ardaena developed Caddisfly 01.01 afterwards for its own use, however, in compare to the time Ava-Center was designed by, if we had developed it before, we could save almost 4 months ahead to have everything modeled.

Tennis Court is displaced on the roof of Iran-mall project located in Tehran, Iran. The project was under progression when we got invited to work on. Ali Karimbeigi Darian was the main façade consultant and Pars-Goofca had taken on the contractor responsibility. Ardaena team was asked to manage the algorithmic shop drawing of the façade structure double curved belts. The images below show the sine based curves of the façade. We were in charge of using Grasshopper3D to produce prefabrication documents in correspondence to tiny changes but automatically matched.

F.Domes’ tents are complex products with multiple configurable features. Potential customers have difficulties understanding the different accessories and characteristics simply by scrolling through different images on F.Domes website. They wanted to find a way to educate their potential customers on how the product works and on its specific characteristics to improve the quality of leads.

F.Domes wanted to increase the number of monthly leads, reduce the time spent on inquiries and shorten the sales cycle

The Sales team had to answer potential leads’ numerous basic questions about the product. They also had to quote each lead separately. F.Domes wanted to reduce the time spent on answering basic questions, explaining the different possible combinations and quoting each lead separately.

The solution: a 3D configurator: Klaas Nienhuis together with Frodo Schering (design and main contractor) and Innouveau (web development) built a 3D configurator for F.Domes using Sketchfab API.

MassMotion analysed a range of entry and exit scenarios at Stockton’s Grade II Listed Globe Theatre, due to reopen in September 2021 after a £20m+ refurbishment,  to ensure good crowd management on the public highway.

Consultants integrated the theatre’s Revit model with the Stockton town centre 3D model to produce comprehensive visualisations and analyses. Now the model has been developed in MassMotion, it can also be used assess customer experience for different events, to address security and social distancing concerns and to optimise use of bars and other facilities.

One of the major benefits of the platform is the ability for team members to view their project data virtually, without needing to do a site visit. Being able to look around their build, take measurements and gain a true understanding of what’s there has provided significant time and cost savings for the business.

“Cintoo Cloud has become a key part of our Reality Capture workflows. I’m able to share project data with both internal and external team members and people are interacting with the data all the time. It’s really easy to add someone in and it only takes about 10 minutes to show them how to use it and they’re off,” says Michael Alder, Regional Reality Capture Leader.

“One of the biggest benefits is that it enables us to get our clients more involved in the process. By giving them access to this information, they can walk through the building and immediately understand the scope of the project and what’s being done. This transparency and collaboration increase the value of what we’re doing across all disciplines.”
