Made in Utah!
⬇️A big shout out to IsoTruss, Inc., a 2023 award winner, who provided this composites masterpiece ⬇️
As they say "The JEC podium came about as any composite does - as a collaboration!"
Working together, JEC and IsoTruss designed and built a podium to represent the joining of materials and ideas.
The podium features three composite IsoTruss sections, each 6cm in diameter. The IsoTruss geometry takes advantage of the unique non-isotropic material properties of composite materials by aligning the fibers in the direction of axial, transverse, shear, and torsion forces.
The three IsoTruss sections weigh less than half a kilogram together, but each piece can withstand a 33kN axial load, a property that is only made possible by composite materials!
The base and top, also composed of resin, are hexagonal, as a nod to the chemical structure of carbon. The composite podium is painted white to acknowledge the many possible fibers in the composite world including carbon, glass, natural fibers, and more.
🏆This is THE DAY!
In a few hours we will be live from Paris to announce the winners of the JEC Innovation Awards 2024!
