Design and optimization of a low-cost direct-drive motor intendedfor low-duty CNC machines: Design and optimization of tubular linear motor

Nowadays, low-duty CNC machines use the conventional belt-driven system, which works well for relatively small machines. However this design brings several complications the engineer has to account for: creep; backlash; complex assembly and more importantly the limited stiffness of the belt. This limited stiffness results in belt stretch and...

Suburban 2.0: Differentiated houses for the masses

Population growth and immigration increase the demand for mass housing developments all over the world. These developments are widely criticized for being mono-functional, mono-typological, and mono-cultural. This project is a design method for a new kind of mass housing. All design rules are reformulated as algorithms, that interact with each...
