Dassault Systèmes and French designer Patrick Jouin have unveiled Ta.Tamu, a 3D-printed chair developed utilizing the corporate’s 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The challenge represents a four-year collaboration aimed toward demonstrating new design processes that mix AI-powered digital twins with materials effectivity ideas.
The chair weighs 8.6 kilos (3.9 kg) and may assist as much as 220 kilos (100 kg). It encompasses a lattice construction impressed by biomimicry, notably bone density and joint articulation discovered within the human physique. The design permits the chair to be 3D printed in a flat, folded place with out requiring meeting.
“Nature makes use of solely the power and supplies it wants. We wished to use this quite simple philosophy to the event of Ta.Tamu. With the assistance of latest collaborative applied sciences of Dassault Systèmes, we are actually in a position to give you new concepts and make them doable, creating extra effectively whereas producing much less waste, proper from the design course of,” mentioned Jouin.
The event course of built-in life cycle evaluation and topological optimization from early design levels. Design groups used digital twin know-how to mannequin and simulate element conduct, refining joints and stress zones in actual time. The ultimate design weighs 75% lower than it could at full density whereas sustaining structural integrity.
Patrick Jouin has been working with 3D printing for furnishings since 2004, when he created the Strong assortment. His collaboration with Dassault Systèmes started in 2019, specializing in generative design and deployable buildings. The corporate stories having 370,000 prospects throughout varied industries utilizing its 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
