In time for Summer, the creative wizards at Steel Frame Buildings can whip up a garden room design to your exact specifications and needs, send it super-fast to our high tech steel frame machine, where our 3D printing specialists produce pre-drilled steel sections to millimetre precision. These sections are then assembled in-house and arrive with you ready to be erected by our construction team. The whole process is exact, fluid, and efficient, saving you money and time. With a range of options from simply supplying our frames alone to a fully finished building, ready to use, at competitive prices, it makes you wonder why you wouldn't choose to build with steel. Not only will your building last beyond that of timber or brick, but building with steel frames eliminates human error, and damage that outside factors can cause to buildings of other construction types, it really is a no-brainer. #GardenGatherings #CozyRetreat #FamilyTime #gardendesign #garden #gardens #gardeninspiration #landscapedesign #gardenlove #instagarden #backyard #gardenfurniture #homeandgarden #ntgardens #steel #construction #powdercoat #schoolrun #3dprinting #engineering #3d #render #art #designer #property #deco #style #designinspiration #minimalinterior #architectural

What makes a good manufacturable part? When Brawo Lofthouse receives a request for quote, sometimes there are some unintentional cost drivers included on the customers drawings. Many elements are necessary for the application, but others may not be, and their presence can greatly increase the manufacturing cost. Below are some of the elements that can make parts difficult to manufacture or more costly. 🔵 Overstated Tolerances 🔹 Unnecessary tight tolerances applied on dimensions. 🔵 Complex Geometries 🔹 Sharp corners create pre-mature tool wear 🔵 Undercuts and Non-Standard Features 🔹 Require expensive custom tooling 🔵 Material Specifications 🔹 Exotic material not readily available 🔵 Surface Finish Requirements 🔹  Unnecessary fine surface finishes applied on features   🔵 Manufacturing Method 🔹   Designing a part without considering the capabilities of the intended manufacturing process can make parts unmanufacturable. 🔵 Ambiguous or Incomplete Drawings 🔹 Special Requirements The Engineering Group BRAWO Lofthouse Manufacturing and BRAWO S.p.A. pride themselves in offering our customers support to avoid these pitfalls and keep the cost of parts to a minimum starting at the design stage.

Does your part design include flat walls or sharp corners? If you’re designing a plastic part for rotational molding, here’s what you need to consider. https://bit.ly/3QWavov #rotationalmolding #rotomolding #partdesign #plastics

Check out this amazing article showcasing the Japanese art of wood joinery. It's truly beautiful! The idea of automating this process for on-demand manufacturing, without welds or fasteners, would be a game changer for multipart additive manufacturing. Uniform properties of similar materials, along with proper interfacing and load distribution, could be achieved through multilateral compliant design/interfaces. This would revolutionize the way we approach manufacturing. #woodworking #manufacturing #additivemanufacturing #technology #innovation

Does your design need reinforcing ribs? In rotational molding, these part features help keep nominal wall thickness to a minimum. That’s important because thicker walls increase cycle times. https://bit.ly/3pG35ep #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #designtips

Spaghetti Bridge Competition! Spaghetti bridges are often built using dry spaghetti sticks and glue, mimicking real-world engineering challenges. Here's how you can technically enhance the strength of your spaghetti bridge: Design Considerations: + Truss Design: Utilize truss patterns like Warren, Pratt, Howe, or K-Truss. These designs distribute loads effectively and minimize stress concentrations. + Triangulation: The more triangles in your design, the stronger and more stable the structure will be. Triangles are inherently stable geometric shapes. + Load Distribution: Place vertical supports or pylons at critical points to evenly distribute the load across the bridge. + Avoid Compression: Minimize using spaghetti sticks in compression (being pushed together), as spaghetti is much stronger in tension (being pulled). Material Selection: + Spaghetti: Choose high-quality spaghetti that is uniform in size and shape. Thicker spaghetti tends to be stronger. + Glue: Use a strong and quick-drying adhesive. Epoxy or cyanoacrylate (super glue) are popular choices. Construction Techniques: + Joints: Focus on strong joint connections. Use techniques like lap joints, butt joints, or diagonal bracing to connect spaghetti sticks securely. + Gluing: Apply glue evenly and avoid excess glue that can weaken the structure due to added weight. + Curing Time: Allow sufficient curing time for the glue to set before applying loads to the bridge.
