Laser Reproductions Creates Prototype for Universal Joint Design
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Rapid prototyping, manufacturing and product development company, Laser Reproductions, recently collaborated with Austin TX architect and designer, Jonathan Chertok, to recreate the renowned Classical Mathematical Model Collection housed at the University of Göttingen in Germany.
To allow him greater access to the models, Chertok created three-dimensional computer-images of the collection. In August 2007, Chertok approached Laser Reproductions to convert his computer images into physical reproductions.
Laser Reproductions proofed each design to anticipate potential problems and determine the best way to manufacture the designs into tangible reproductions. Laser Reproductions deduced the task required DMS Somos 18420-rapid prototyping resin and High Resolution Viper Si® stereolithography (SLA) to create excellent exhibition-quality reproductions; a special waterproofing prior to SLA was also needed.
“My relationship with Paul Bordner has brought me back to Laser Reproductions twice now,” said Chertok, “I’m sure that my future work will bring me back again. I have found a partner in Laser Reproductions and I look forward to working with them again.”
Chertok traveled to Paris in October 2007 with 23 amazing reproductions of the original models. The collection’s 23 spatial models, originally cast in the 1800s, were a break-through in understanding how shapes could be exploited to advance modern architecture and industrial design.
These where showcased at the “Fête de la Science” exhibition at the prestigious École Nationale Supérieur des Arts et Métiers in Paris.
