3d打印技術打造寶馬展廳水磨石地板-設計風向

西班牙設計師Patricia Urquiola為BMW Welt展示空間設計了一個藍色和綠色水磨石漩渦地板，由地板品牌Aectual通過3D打印框架打造。空間的靈感來自寶馬汽車公司的M8 Gran Coupe概念車的顏色，據寶馬公司稱，這款車“讓人回想起神秘而富有詩意的北極光漸變色彩”。

Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola has fitted out the BMW Welt exhibition space with a swirling blue and green terrazzo floor, created by flooring brand Aectual within a 3D-printed frame.The space was inspired by the colours of the car company’s M8 Gran Coupe concept car, which according to BMW “recalls the colour gradients of the mystic and poetic Northern Lights”.

Urquiola拍攝了這款概念車在一個閃閃發光的綠色冰湖麵上的照片，作為安裝的起點。Urquiola用她的平麵設計非常直觀地詮釋了明顯斷裂的冰層、在不同的燈光下顏色不斷發生變化的綠色與北極光。

Urquiola took photographs that the automobile maker had taken of the concept car against a shimmering green frozen lake as the starting point for her installation.”Urquiola used her surface design to translate, extremely intuitively, the apparently fractured ice surface, green colour – which appears to change in tone against different lights – and Northern Lights,” said BMW.

該空間設有汽車展示區和休息區，定製的地板上展示著Urquiola的原創藝術品。322平方米的樓層由Urquiola設計，由專業設計技術地板品牌Aectual生產。該公司使用3d打印技術製造出一個幾厘米高的生物塑料框架。

The space has cars and lounge areas, featuring original artworks by Urquiola, on top of a bespoke floor.The 322 square-metre floor was designed by Urquiola and produced by specialist design-tech flooring brand Aectual. The company uses robotic technology to 3D-print a bioplastic frame a couple of centimetres tall.

和傳統的幾何圖案一樣，3d打印框架技術可以打造出任何形狀，達到近似手繪的效果，比如Urquiola的旋渦設計。這個框架被運送到鋪設地板的地方，在生物粘合劑中填充大理石碎片的混合物，然後水磨石凝固，並拋光以製作成地板。

As well as traditional geometric patterns, the 3D-printed frame allows for freeform shapes that appear to be hand-drawn, such as Urquiola’s swirling designs.This frame was transported to the location where the floor was laid, where it was filled with a mixture of chips of marble in a bio-based binding agent. The terrazzo then set, and was polished to create the finished floor.
