| Project Challenges
The key challenges in this project stemmed from the unique geometry of the canopy and the need for precision throughout the measurement, production, and installation processes.
1. Curved Design and Installation
Large-scale curved facade structure demand high-precision execution throughout both design and installation phases. Conventional measurement methods cannot guarantee the accuracy required for curved structures, while manual surveying requires considerable time and proves inefficient.
2. Large Area and Complex Structure
The curved facade covers a large area, and the custom aluminum panels needed to fit perfectly with the curved design to avoid errors during installation.
3. Custom Aluminum Panel Production
Aluminum panels needed to be designed and produced to match the exact specifications of the curved structure, ensuring ease of installation.
4. Balancing Aesthetics and Functionality
The stage's facade design had to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements, ensuring the stage looked appealing while serving its practical purpose.
| 3D Measurement Technology Application and Project Solutions
To address these challenges, the project team utilized 3D laser scanning technology, which, along with the custom design and
production of aluminum panels, ensured high precision and efficiency throughout the project.
1. Accurate Capture and Design Optimization
The 3D laser scanner accurately captured the curved facade structure, including all angles and curves. This data was then used to create a detailed digital model, allowing the design team to optimize the aluminum panel specifications. The result was a tailored solution, ensuring each panel perfectly matched the stage's architecture and seamlessly integrated with the overall design.
2. Custom Aluminum Panel Design and Production
Based on the 3D scan data, custom aluminum panels were designed and produced to fit the metal facade's specific curves. The
panels were fabricated with precision to ensure their stability and durability when installed.
3. Improved Safety During Construction
The use of 3D laser scanning technology not only improved construction accuracy but also enhanced on-site safety. Unlike traditional manual methods, which often require workers to measure at heights or in hazardous areas, 3D scanning allows engineers to remotely capture accurate data from a safe distance. This reduces worker exposure to dangerous environments and minimizes errors, rework, and adjustments, further improving site safety.
4. Time and Cost Efficiency
The application of 3D laser scanning has the benefits of minimizing errors, reducing the need for rework, and shortening the overall construction timeline. This led to significant time and cost savings.
5. Enhanced Safety During Measurement
3D scanning improved safety by allowing accurate data collection without requiring workers to enter hazardous or hard-to-reach areas, reducing exposure to risks on-site.
| Benefits of using Aluminum Panels in outdoor
Aluminum panels offered several advantages that were crucial for this project, particularly in terms of meeting the unique requirements of the curved facade structure.
1. Lightweight and High Strength
Aluminum panels are lightweight, which makes them easier to handle and install, especially in large-scale projects. Despite their lightness, they are strong enough to support the structural needs. Their ability to be customized makes them ideal for fitting curved designs like the one in this project.
2. Corrosion and Weather Resistance
The aluminum panels used in the project are highly resistant to corrosion, which is essential for ensuring long-term durability, especially in exposed structures. The panels can withstand changes in temperature and humidity, making them suitable for various environmental conditions.
3. Aesthetic Appeal
Aluminum panels provide a sleek, modern finish that enhances the visual appeal of the facade. Their surface can be treated to achieve different textures or colors, offering flexibility in design to meet aesthetic goals while complementing the overall stage design.
