Museu del Disseny / Design Museum Barcelona, Spain
The Museu del Disseny de Barcelona brings together, under one roof, the collections of the Museu de les Arts Decoratives, the Museu de Ceràmica, the Museu Tèxtil i d'Indumentària and the Gabinet de les Arts Gràfiques, to showcase its vast heritage of more than 70,000 objects.
The Museu del Disseny is based on a common theme «From the decorative arts to design», and is dedicated to the culture of the object, focusing on pieces that are often from the everyday sphere, their design, manufacturing process, use and distribution, aesthetic and functional obsolescence, all from a 21st-century perspective.
The Disseny Hub Barcelona building was designed by MBM architects. The building comprises two parts: an underground section made possible by the change in level caused by the redevelopment of the square; and a block at street level, which cantilevers out towards the Plaça de les Glòries, 14.5 metres above the ground. This block houses the venues for long- and short-term temporary exhibitions, as well as a hall for events and a large auditorium. Most of the building's floor space is located below this level and houses key areas such as the main exhibition gallery, the documentation centre, research rooms, the bar and restaurant and the shop. The entire project complies with high environmental quality and sustainability standards which are achieved through a large-scale, self-sufficient energy system.

The cactus fibre shown is combined with a polyester matrix to create a bio composite material. Bio-composites are desirable due to their sustainable manufacturing processes. This cactus fibre image generated from X-ray CT shows a complete cross section of the fibres in high resolution.
This allows the fibre orientation and structural morphology to be analysed to determine how these relate to the material properties. The settings used for this particular CT scan were selected considering the low density of the sample and the need for a high resolution to identify fibre orientations and pathways within the natural material. A high exposure and a low power x-ray beam ensured a high signal to noise ratio in the CT data, and a voxel resolution of 8.86 microns.

See how the filament is crossed and having a rough time rolling off the reel. It is because it unrolled for a long time on the right side of the roll, then suddenly had to jump over to the other side of the reel, yet then it gets somehow overlapped due to the poor method in the manufacturing process of spooling the filament onto the reel. They need to go watch a fishing filament manufacture spool fishing line onto reels.
I know what some are thinking, the filament was allowed to loosen up when not in use, so the filament wound up getting crossed on the reel when put back into use. Nope, not the case at all, it just is poorly spooled onto the reel from the very beginning.
Thankfully, by directly feeding the filament into the extruder from overhead this rarely stops the print job, unless it hits another overlap before the first has a chance to correct itself.

A fragment of a decorated Roman Glass bracelet dating to c.AD 50-200. The fragment has a D-shaped section and is of Kilbride-Jones type 2Ci. The core and body of the fragment is made from a translucent light blue colour glass with the addition of three cords of decoration within the outer edge of the bracelet. The centre cord is of a golden brown, amber like colour and at either side of the centre cord is a cord of opaque white and cobalt blue. The cord decoration penetrates c.0.5mm into the lighter blue glass.
Within the glass are tiny black fragments, which are diagnostic features associated with the winding and stretching technique used during the manufacturing processes and demonstrate the use of metal tools to help form the bangle. The black fragments are iron scales embedded onto the inner surface from its contact with iron rods. Internal folds seen in the cross-sections, indicate that the glass was wound around the rod during the first stage of production.
Length: 23mm, Width;10mm, Depth; 8mm, Weight: 4.5g
Estimated external diameter of the complete bracelet: 80mm; estimated internal diameter of 60mm.
This fragment has been recorded with Dr Tatiana Ivleva who notes that the 'fragment belongs to relatively common type 2Ci. What makes your piece stand out is the use of golden brown (amber-like) glass for the cord decoration. While usually the cords are made in opaque white and cobalt blue, the use of golden brown is relatively rare: I know of 14 specimens out of 700 with fragments found in Yorkshire, Durham, Cumbria, Northumberland and one travelled as far as Scotland'.

What is CNC Machining?
CNC machine is commonly used in manufacturing and industrial production. But exactly what is CNC machining?
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a kind of subtractive manufacturing process. In CNC manufacturing, the software control system issues commands to make the tool meet the required movements. In this process,various precision tools are used to remove layers of raw materials and make parts or products. Therefore, it can also be called cnc precision machining.
Types of CNC Machining
Three-axis CNC machining
The 3-axis machining is performed by straight lines to the axes X, Y, and Z.
Machining features: the cutting tool orientation remains constant during movement along the entire cutting path.
The 3-axis machining center has the advantages of high precision and high efficiency. It is commonly used to machine general parts, but it is more troublesome when machining complex workpieces, which may cause the workpiece to fail. Therefore, multi-axis simultaneous machining is the first choice when machining more complex workpieces.
Three-axis CNC machining
Five-axis CNC machining
Five-axis machining is the use of CNC to move parts or cutting tools on five different axes simultaneously, which can process very complex parts.
The remarkable feature of the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool is that it can complete the surface machining, and no special fixture is needed during machining, which greatly reduces the number of clamping and improves the machining accuracy, quality and efficiency. The five-axis machining center has unparalleled advantages in the processing of complex workpieces.
Five-axis CNC machining
CNC milling
CNC milling machine processing is based on the technical requirements of the shape, accuracy, size and surface roughness of the workpiece to determine the processing technology and processing parameters. Program the machining program into the controller and send the command to the servo. CNC milling machines can process parts with particularly complex contours or difficult to control dimensions, such as mold parts and housing parts. It has the advantages of strong adaptability, high processing precision, stable processing quality and high efficiency.
CNC turning
CNC turning is one of the most used machining methods in CNC machining. During CNC turning, the workpiece makes a rotary motion, and the tool moves in a straight line or a curve. While the tool tip moves relative to the workpiece, a certain workpiece material is removed to form a corresponding workpiece surface.
Applications of CNC Machining
Electronic Products
The full metal casing of 3C products is basically processed by CNC machine tools CNC. CNC has become a must-have for 3C enclosure manufacturers due to its high efficiency, high precision and stable processing quality.
Automobile
CNC machining plays an important role in the automotive industry. It can be said that most automotive parts are processed by CNC machining.
The advantages of CNC machining in automobile manufacturing include multi-axis linkage to obtain the tortuous machining of prototype machining; high precision and good product consistency; high degree of automation, resulting in low labor intensity; CNC also ensures simplicity and high efficiency.

The Toaster Project (2009)
Thomas Thwaites
The Toaster Project is an attempt to investigate and replicate the manufacture of a mass produced everyday object – a toaster – on an artisanal scale, aimed at revealing the nature of mass manufacturing. The designer, Thomas Thwaites, documented the process through video, a publication and by collecting all the elements that went into the production of the toaster, including the apparatus he created for the refining and manufacturing processes. This installation collects all of these objects, consisting of the apparatus, materials, final toaster, digital images, video and publication.
The Toaster Project highlights the complexity of everyday mass-manufactured objects and the invisible supply chains of the globalised economy which make their low-cost production possible. In 2008 Thwaites bought a toaster from the British high-street retailer Argos, manufactured in China and priced at £3.94, and deconstructed it into its individual components. He then attempted to reproduce these components himself, from elements sourced or produced by himself in the UK; the plastic for the shell, the steel for the inner frame, the nickel for the heating element, the mica for the thermal and electrical insulation, and the copper for the electrical wires. He documented his journeys around Britain to collect the base elements of the materials, from mining steel in the Forest of Dean, to collecting mica from the mountains of the west coast of Scotland and acidic water containing dissolved copper from the Isle of Anglesey. He also devised his own ways of attaining the final materials from these sources, including attempts such as a smelting furnace made of hairdryers and a chimney pot, and a mould for the plastic case carved out of a block of wood. This investigation into the production of what is now a very cheap and easy to acquire object reveals the impossibility of making such a product on a small, local scale. It exposes the social and environmental consequences, including the decline of Britain’s manufacturing industries and pollution of natural resources, as a result of the disposability of consumer culture. Thomas also reveals that the cost of making his toaster was £1187.54, based on his direct spending alone. The project is a key example of critical design, and one of the first to be discussed globally beyond the design sector.

The corrugated fiberboard is a material that comprises of one or more flat line boards and a fluted corrugated sheet. Corrugators are used to manufacture the #corrugated #fiberboards. Far from that, the corrugated fiberboards are used to produce corrugated boxes as well as shipping containers.
The History of Corrugated Fiberboards
The corrugated fiberboards were first unveiled in the 19th century. A patent was then issued for corrugated paper in 1856 in England. After the patent was approved, the corrugated papers were then used as liners for tall hats. At the time, corrugated boxboards were not yet patented; nevertheless, the corrugated boxboards were used as shipping materials and later on a patent was issued in December 1871.
The patent for the corrugated cardboard boxes was issued to Albert Jones who resided in New York City by then. Albert Jones used the corrugated boxboards to wrap glass lantern chimneys and bottles. Since technology does evolve, G. Smyth came up with a #machine that was able to produce corrugated boards in a large scale manner in the year 1874. Oliver Long then improved on the design that G. Smyth had come up with thereby paving the way for corrugated boards that have liner sheets on both ends.
Properties of Corrugated Fiberboards
The following characteristics and properties are measured when it comes to corrugated fiberboards;
• Flat crush test
• Edge crush test
• Impact resistance
• Bending resistance
• Tear resistance
• Shock absorption
• Burst strength
How Corrugated Fiberboards are manufactured
Corrugated fiberboards are manufactured through the use of machines known as corrugators that always operate at a frequency of 150 meters per minute/ 500 feet per minute. The corrugators have been experiencing #technological advancements over the years so as to increase the efficiency during the production process. With that said, the corrugated fiberboards are manufactured using papers, of which each layer requires a different grade of paper. Paper mills are in charge of producing the papers that are used in the manufacture of the corrugated boxes. During the corrugated fiberboard manufacture process, the papers are softened through the use of high-pressure steam. After the formation of the fiberboard, it is then dried and then heated afterwards through the use of hot plates. Flute patterns are also formed in the process, and they are then joined to a flat line board that has a starch-based adhesive, and the single-face board is formed. In the process, a second flat line board is also attached to the other end of the fluted medium, and a single wall corrugated board is formed. Among the common flute, sizes is the size “C.”
The Standard US Corrugated Flutes
The corrugated fiberboards can be classified by the construction specifics, the burst strength, flat crush, flute size, edge crush strength, surface treatments, test methods, and also coatings.
Corrugated BoxDesigns
Packaging engineers are always tasked with coming up with corrugated #cardboards #boxes that suit the various products that are being exported. The corrugated boxes are well designed in a manner that the will withstand various hazards such as vibration, moisture, shock, compression, and many more environmental hazards. Additionally, the packaging is also meant to suit the needs of the consumer and the retailers.
The most commonly used design is the RSC (Regular Slotted Container). Additionally, the boxes are always pre-orders, and they are manufactured depending on the specifics of the products that are to be fitted into the boxes.
