The gel cube used buckling implements a certain level of firmness (elasticity) and a certain level of softness simultaneously.
Buckling
The word "buckling" is frequently used in architecture.
It refers to a phenomenon in which a column structure bends toward the transverse plane when an axial force is applied over a specific size.
Effects of buckling under different circumstances.
The spacing and thickness of the gel cube are critical to the technology.
Based on the buckling phenomenon, the principle of technology is to arrange hexagonal columns horizontally and change the direction of the pressure corresponding to the vertical direction to the horizontal direction.
This technology is designed to accommodate the body's pressure points by applying it to cushions or mattresses and to have a semi-permanent repulsion.
Gel Cube is a sheet of new material beta gel in a honeycomb structure.
Essential items considered in cell design
- Optimization of cell size
- Optimization of cell spacing
- Resilience with the gap
- Optimization of cell wall thickness
- Elasticity with thickness
We are applying for a patent for gel sculptures by optimizing the above.
The two layers of buckling distribute body pressure.
Maximize body pressure dispersion with buckling consequences for each up and down part.
