Applications

Soil Stabilized Pipe Support SolutionsApplicationsBio Sensitive Pipe Support

In this article we will explain about the contribution of Flextegrity to Bio sensitive pipe support for soil stabilization. Flextegrity’s material architecture presents the opportunity to design dynamic, resilient load support systems.  Weight can be distributed over a larger area without impeding drainage in challenging environments such as permafrost, wetlands and sand.  Our permeable icosahedral […]

Strong SphereApplicationsstrong sphere architecture

f you were asked to create the universe out of balls and strings, would you know where to start? …and where you might end up? – Sam Lanahan, 2007 Buckminster Fuller spent the early 20th century to innovate and invent new ways to improve the human shelter. This includes: Using modern technology for shelter construction. […]

Structurally Optimized Geometry Derived from NatureApplications, Video - with C6XTYC6XTY Soccer Ball Banner

We can create entirely new categories of materials and structures that are both strong / lightweight and accomplish the important goal of doing the most with the least by utilizing nature’s own geometry! C6XTY utilizes the familiar shape of the soccer ball, which is also known as a Fullerene or Carbon 60 molecule. This molecule […]

Roadways/Bridges/ Stormwater ManagementApplicationsStorm water Management

From roads to bridges, stormwater is something that can wreak havoc if the problem is not dealt with immediately. In the developed environments, the unmanaged stormwater could lead to two major and some minor issues. The two major problems will be flooding caused by the runoff, and the second one is water pollution. Stormwater Management […]

Intelligent Streets & SidewalksApplications

Just imagine how amazing you will feel when every street you walk has smart and intelligent features. From strong pavement to damage resistance, smart drainage system for stormwater to natural percolation of petroleum-based pollutants, there is a solution that can turn all this into reality. C6XTY is promoting ideas and concepts where structures can be […]

C6XTY – building and creating with nature

Video / / / , ,

What is it? Flextegrity has developed and patented a 3-dimensional tensile lattice that is easily constructed from two component parts. The soccer ball shape is excellent for distributing compressive forces across its surface. Buckminster Fuller described these as ‘islands of compression.’ The balls then are surrounded in a ‘sea of tension.’ Tension and compression can […]
