We thought it was appropriate to use Branch Technology panels because the technology is representative of the city and its trajectory.\u201d After initially settling on a perforated aluminum exterior facade \u2013 a design approved by the city \u2013 Tillery made a last-minute decision to propose three new facade schemes to the city, all designed by Branch Technology. \u201cWe had a 90%-complete construction document with the city that was approved for bid with perforated metal panels, but we knew the potential of the designs that Branch Technology had created for us,\u201d explained Tillery. \u201cI used the last 10 minutes of a presentation with the city to discuss the Branch schemes. I was excited and surprised when the city agreed to change the design. It was a major turn in the project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/6466396336657115521.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\">  <\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a;padding: 15px 30px;align-items: center;border-radius: 4px;margin-top: 1em;margin-bottom: 1em\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1;padding-right: 30px\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div>Online manufacturing service that meets your most stringent requirements.

The facade is made from exterior panels that take their shape from a 3D-printed open lattice material called BranchMatrix, which can be made into virtually any shape or form. This helped bring the intricate design of the parking garage facade to life. To create these facades for the parking garage, the 3D-printed, lightweight polymer BranchMatrix shapes are filled with two-pound-density insulating foam, robotically milled back to their geometric surface, and then finished with glass fiber reinforced concrete. The result is a lightweight, <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy<\/a>-efficient, and durable building facade.<\/p>\n<p>The parking deck is lit with LED lighting to create an even more dynamic effect, especially at night. This is on full display for late-night traffic coming in and out of the garage following evening events. \u201cBranch allowed us to achieve unique shapes that we wouldn\u2019t have been able to get otherwise,\u201d added Tillery. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D printing<\/a> design options are pretty unlimited in terms of what you can create. There was nothing amorphous like this that existed in downtown Huntsville, so it was very attractive for us and for the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/6687765225607993696.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter\">  <\/p>\n<p>Branch\u2019s advancements in <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D printing<\/a> technology allow for unprecedented creativity for large construction-scale projects. Shapes are produced directly from digital files rather than being interpreted from shop drawings. The result is extreme accuracy that is true to the original design. The process is much faster than typical fabrication methods and produces drastically less waste compared to traditional construction projects.<\/p>\n<p>Tillery explained that the garage has generated much interest from the public and that their reactions have all been positive. Some community members have even given their own nicknames to the structure. Completed in October 2021, the Monroe Street parking garage has 725 parking spaces. In addition to Branch Technology, Fuqua Architects, and the City of Huntsville, the project team included Turner Construction Company, precast concrete manufacturer Metromont, metal fabricator Ben Parker, and engineers LBYD Engineers and Larson Engineering.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"font-size: 16px;border-left: 4px solid #cdcdcd;border-radius: 4px;background-color: #f9f9f9;font-weight: 500;color: dimgrey\">\n<h5 style=\"margin-bottom: 6px\">You might also like:<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxelmatters.com\/icon-raises-185-million-in-tiger-led-round-to-3d-print-more-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ICON raises $185 million in Tiger-led round to 3D print more homes: <\/a>An ICON spokesperson confirmed TechCrunch via e-mail that \u201cWe are excited for the opportunity to continue partnering with world-class investors, board members and organizations at every level.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;color: grey\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxelmatters.com\/3d-printing-technology-takes-center-stage-in-downtown-huntsville\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.
