Set to open in spring 2018, the Salesforce Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco is a completely reimagined, state-of-the-art transportation hub built to inspire. The transit center, wrapped in a flowing white metal veil, will connect the city to eight Bay Area counties with a planned high-speed rail line to Los Angeles. It is a stunning example of how fabrication can inspire the transformation of a whole neighborhood. But such a transformation doesn\u2019t just happen\u2014this project\u2019s cutting-edge design required equally precise fabrication solutions from Mate Tooling.<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking Design<\/h2>\n

Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects<\/a>, the Salesforce Transbay Transit center features a curving exterior aluminum screen that wraps the four-block structure. The innovative screen uses a groundbreaking geometric pattern known as \u201cPenrose Tiling\u201d to let in air and natural light. The screen design is based on an algorithm discovered in 1974 by Sir Roger Penrose that can extend the pattern infinitely without repeating itself.<\/p>\n

Customers have long respected Mate\u2019s high-quality precision tooling and services. That\u2019s why project engineering firm Architectural Systems<\/a> turned to Mate to help create the nearly 5,000 conjoined panels covering the structure.<\/p>\n

Diamond Cluster Forming Tools Provides the Right Angle<\/h2>\n

With an average size of 65 by 72 inches, the \u00bc inch panels were punched using Mate\u2019s diamond cluster forming tooling on Murata Wiedemann 4560 turret presses. The complex hole pattern required an angular orientation to create visual symmetry. With 37% of the panel surface area open, each hole required a smooth, burr-free edge so the paint could dry smoothly.<\/p>\n

Michael Graves of Architectural Systems told The Fabricator in June 2017<\/a> that \u201cit was critical that the shear edge inside each punch was free from defects throughout the punching cycle. We needed the punched edges to allow the metallic paint flake to lay as smoothly and uniformly as possible over the entire face of the panels. The Mate tools achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supported by Mate\u2019s Engineering Expertise<\/h2>\n

Graves also praised the diamond cluster tool\u2019s extreme degree of orientation accuracy. He noted that Mate\u2019s engineering expertise in the design of the rooftop shear face of the punch allowed them to meet the dual challenges of meeting the required angular orientation of the panel perforations and creating visual symmetry. This was accomplished while exceeding design expectations on the project. Now that\u2019s inspirational.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
