The birth of the Shi Mo Ding originated from breakthroughs in materials science and precision manufacturing. High purity graphite with a purity of 99.9% is selected, and its hexagonal crystal structure endows the material with lightweight, high thermal conductivity, and super high temperature resistance. After graphitization treatment in an argon gas environment at 2800 ℃, the compressive strength is high, and the weight is only 22% of that of a bronze tripod. Through micro scale carving on the machining center, the patterns are replicated with a precision of 0.01 millimeters, presenting a mirror like luster like ink jade, achieving a perfect balance between traditional aesthetics and modern industry.
Digital modeling and reverse engineering enable the precise inheritance of the charm of ancient cauldrons. Using 3D scanning technology to reconstruct the surface contour of Shang Zhou tripod, combined with topology optimization algorithm to reduce the wall thickness of tripod legs, while ensuring structural strength and eliminating heaviness. Testing shows that the roundness error of the graphite tripod tripod support is small, and the static balance exceeds the seismic standards of the building. When exhibited together with the Warring States bronze tripod, its thermal conductivity efficiency is 8 times that of bronze, and the physical characteristics of energy exchange are transformed into a unique aesthetic expression, becoming a temporal and spatial medium connecting ancient wisdom and modern technology.
