The Model: Transforming Digital

into Real
The Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia is involved in
a research project to transform the
city of Barcelona in a Zero Emission city. For that, an interactive
model has to be fabricated, so
design decisions can be made. In
this tutorial, we will describe the
step by step of how to send the
3D model of the barrios of Camp
delArpa, La Sagrera, Congrs and
Navas, to the milling machine so it
could be printed.

Step 1:
Model the area using Rhinoceros. Load RhinoCam2 by tiping the command on
the command bar.

Step 2:
Choose the machine type in the Setup tab > Machine Type > 3 Axis.

Step 3:
For the post processor choose the option Precix.

Step 4:
The stock can be set or by typing the measures manually or by picking a modelled stock volume as a reference, which happened for our case.

Step 5: Horizontal roughing is for fast and efficient removal of material as a

preparation for th emore refined second milling step. A thicker tool with 26 mm
of diameter was used.

Step 6:
Horizontal roughing, cut levels.

Step 7:
Horizontal roughing, cut parameters.

Step 8:
Parallel finishing is the final milling process, with refined resolution. The tool
used for this case was a thin 3 mm ball point.

Step 9:
Parallel finishing, clearance.

Step 10:
Parallel finishing, cut parameters.

Step 11:
To visualize a simulation of the milling process, first select the horizontal
roughing option and then press Play.

Step 12:
If the simulation of the roughing process works, select the parallel finishing
option and simulate. The file is ready to export.

The Model:
After the model was printed in a high density foam, it was inserted in
the model of the entire city of Barcelona. The scale of this model is
1/2000, and it will be used as a study model. A final interactive model
will be built, and this will help in the design decision.
