The engineering behind Evolutor

Futurum

We have come a long way since Darwin published his concepts, and engineers and scientists have borrowed the concept of ‘survival of the fittest’ and applied it to engineering biological systems for industrial applications. How these factories are designed and constructed is still a puzzle to engineers and scientists,” explains Tuck.

To achieve this, it used a large-scale additive manufacturing solution that was developed by Thermwood Corporation. The torch geometry was achieved by first printing smaller elements of the structure and then joining them into ring geometries that were assembled together to create the beautiful form of the torch.” Byron Pipes comes in.
