At present, exploring building structures with 3D printing technology has become a global trend, especially in ideologically active universities. Recently, professors and students of the University of Science and Technology of Singapore (SUTD) have jointly completed such a large 3D printed grid building structure. It is understood that this large building structure called vMesh is 14.5 meters long and is composed of 91 3D printed nodes and 369 10 mm diameter aluminum rods. These nodes are all designed using Grasshopper and C#, each with a different shape and thickness. Of these, 72 are made of nylon and 19 are made of metal. vMesh was led by a group of students led by two professors of SUTD, Felix Raspall and Carlo Baón. They said that the purpose of creating this structure was to explore the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts. Finally, by adopting a polyhedral design, they successfully achieved the maximum stability and strength of the structure. “The early application of 3D printing in the fields of architectural research, education, etc. is mostly to make miniature models. However, due to advances in technology and materials, the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts have been significantly improved. This makes the technology directly usable for manufacturing. The building components have become possible," vMesh's creative team said. Currently, this interesting grid 3D printing structure is on display at SUTD's campus open day.
