Feature-rich modular counterweights
FY 2023-24 · 2023-06-15
Summary
To increase the mobility and reliability of the printer, nidus3D has designed and engineered for fabrication, a new modular, feature-rich, 3D concrete printed counterweight based on the challenges and failures identified in 2022. Designed to be moved, using the equipment and crew on site, the counterweights fit together securely to provide the total weight required for the operation of the Construction Printer. They are designed to be resilient, mindful of wear and tear. At the target weight a single unit can be lifted and maneuvered safely, effectively, and precisely by the telehandler or forklift. The scope of work includes the optimization for designs for printing, fabrication and of a complete set of prototypes.

Description (French)
Afin d’accroître la mobilité et la fiabilité de l’imprimante, nidus3D a conçu et fabriqué un nouveau contrepoids modulaire, riche en fonctionnalités, imprimé en béton 3D, basé sur les défis et les échecs identifiés en 2022. Conçus pour être déplacés à l’aide de l’équipement et de l’équipe sur place, les contrepoids s’emboîtent solidement pour fournir le poids total nécessaire au fonctionnement de l’imprimante de construction. Ils sont conçus pour être résistants, tout en tenant compte de l’usure et de la détérioration. Au poids cible, une seule unité peut être soulevée et manœuvrée de manière sûre, efficace et précise par le télémanipulateur ou le chariot élévateur. Le travail comprend l’optimisation des conceptions pour l’impression, la fabrication et un ensemble complet de prototypes.
