What is so special about the elevator?The Haughwout department store in New York, founded in 1857, recently appeared3D printingThe appearance of passenger elevators produced by technology has added a different color to this shopping mall.
Although we are in the elevator almost every day, it rarely makes a lasting impression.Although some high-levelarchitectureOr the hotel lobby has a fancy elevator, with transparent floors or golden decorations to attract attention, but these are mostly examples.Recently, Schindler of Switzerland, one of the world’s leading elevator manufacturers, is cooperating withMX3DThe company teamed up to design an elevator for the Haughwout department store, which had installed an elevator in Amsterdam.3D printingMetal bridge.Now the two companies will use metal in the elevator car3D printingThe technology completes their elevator production, and it will once again surprise the world.
MX3D is a supplier of additive manufacturing solutions from the Netherlands. The goal is to establish the advantages of 3D metal printing in a new industry. Therefore, MX3D is committed to providing intelligent, powerful and easy-to-use robotics for additive manufacturing, enabling industry partners to use WAAM (DED)3D printingFor large metal objects, these partners include Schindler. This elevator and escalator manufacturer has been operating since 1874, transporting 1.5 billion people every day.
By using additive manufacturing technology, MX3D not only hopes to achieve creative design inside the car, but also sees the potential to reduce materials, thereby ensuring that the weight of the elevator is lighter.This also brings another positive advantage: reducingenergyConsumption.
Highlight aesthetics andTopology Optimization
In a joint project with MX3D, the interior of the Schindler elevator car resembles a filamentous leafless tree branch.This design can only be used3D printingTo produce. However, in addition to aesthetics, the project is also dedicated to topology optimization, aiming to achieve the best design.
Gijs vander Velden, CEO of MX3D, explained: “In essence, when you look at an object, a lot of it is redundant material. Our idea is to reduce the object to its most basic part.”
