Allowing for the fast production of unusual designs, 3D printers are “Revolutionizing spare parts management and opening the door to new designs for complex components.” Siemens (2014)īy 2020, the cost of additive manufacturing with be 50% less than in 2013, whilst being 400% faster (Siemens, 2014). Many innovative business, such as Siemens and BAE, are increasingly turning to additive manufacturing techniques when it comes to rapid prototyping. However, this function does not consider room objects, and will place luminaires that will clash with our structural pillars. The EasyLux procedure will automatically place luminaires within the room depending on your required lux level and luminaire suspension height. Luminaires are added to the room either manually, or by using the EasyLux procedure. If needed, we can edit the type of room within Relux, so that when the lighting calculations are performed, Relux will automatically compare the results to the standard required levels. EN 12464-1 “Lighting of Indoor Workplaces” tells us that the minimum lux levels required is 300 lux ( Zumtobel Lighting Handbook). The Relux files are simply downloaded from the Thorn website and imported into Relux.įor an office of this type i.e.
The luminaire chosen for this project is a square modular, recessed luminaire by Thorn Lighting ( Chosen Luminaire), as there is an existing 600 x 600 mm ceiling grid already installed in the office, on which the new luminaires will be fixed. In Relux, this can be done in several ways: loading a new luminaire from a file stored on your computer or the built-in data base ReluxNet. Once the room structure and furniture have finalised, luminaires can be added to the room. This will be detailed in a later exercise. We can then add room details, such as windows, doors and in this office, several structural pillars. In this case, we are using a false ceiling height of 3 metres. Once the room is drawn we can edit the height of the room. The room is then drawn by plotting the corners of the inside office walls.
