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 geared 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 help as much as 220 kilos (100 kg). It incorporates a lattice construction impressed by biomimicry, significantly 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 vitality and supplies it wants. We wished to use this quite simple philosophy to the event of Ta.Tamu. With the assistance of recent collaborative applied sciences of Dassault Systèmes, we are actually capable of give you new concepts and make them potential, 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 phases. Design groups used digital twin expertise to mannequin and simulate element habits, refining joints and strain zones in actual time. The ultimate design weighs 75% lower than it might 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 constructions. The corporate experiences having 370,000 clients throughout varied industries utilizing its 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
