Generation and Characterization Metrology of Textures for Design of Urban Furniture with Recycled Material - A Case of Study for Additive Manufacturing

Abstract:

The design process of street furniture nowadays focuses on aspects that go beyond functionality. In this type of product, total aesthetic integration with the space is sought in order to minimise aesthetic pollution. People's quality of life is directly related to the environmental, visual and sound impact of street furniture. Hence the search for sustainability through materials and finishes based on biophilic design. In the context of recycled materials, one branch of research focuses on the search for applications such as street furniture. In turn, 3D printing technology makes it possible to manufacture customised products and use recycled materials. This work focuses on the creation of organic textures for the creation of street furniture printed with recycled materials. The aim is to analyse the state of the art in this field and propose a series of textures and reliefs based on organic shapes, their manufacture by additive manufacturing of fused material (FFF) and their metrological study of the manufactured pieces with respect to the models created by computer-aided design.
