The Startlink Lightweight Building System for low-cost housing and other structural applications is being developed through a £1.3 million (US$ 2.13 million) project funded by the UK government’s Technology Strategy Board and industrial partners, including Exel Composites, OCS Structural Plastics, and several others. A family of lightweight pultruded FRP profiles have been developed along with innovative labour-saving techniques by the consortium, which includes researchers from the University of Warwick.
I used Solidworks to create the enitre model. The weldment feature was used to utilise the cut list for fabrication.
The Bill of Materials is generated for the assembly. Weight/ volume and measures for the house are also automatic
I used 3ds max to create the visual impressions of the house and internals, these have been used for marketing and events.
