Thanks Alex,

Hi,

Very impressive
Any chance of downloading the texturing vector files.

cheers

What is the material you are pouring into the mold? When are you guys launching the new site? Been waiting forever! Great mold/casting project, congrats!

]]> Comment on PCM development with Temple University by admin http://www.pointbdesign.com/blog/2010/pcm-development-with-temple-university/#comment-3510 admin Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:12:58 +0000 http://www.pointbdesign.com/blog/?p=203#comment-3510 thanks stu. of your two questions the answer is: something else. the white parts are the molds we designed and milled based on the 3d scan of the plastic egg. the molds were used to cast the clear resin panels (not acrylic or glass). where the "something else" really comes in is that we produced two prototypes - one which creates voids in the panel connected by channels through which the phase change material (PCM) can flow, and the other in which the PCM is integrated with the resin and the panel is solid. The PCM is photosensitive so depending on the amount and type of light that the panels are exposed to, their thermal and transmittance properties change - that is the research that the folks at Temple are working on and you should check them out for more info on that. thanks stu. of your two questions the answer is: something else. the white parts are the molds we designed and milled based on the 3d scan of the plastic egg. the molds were used to cast the clear resin panels (not acrylic or glass). where the “something else” really comes in is that we produced two prototypes - one which creates voids in the panel connected by channels through which the phase change material (PCM) can flow, and the other in which the PCM is integrated with the resin and the panel is solid.
