SUNNYVALE, Calif. and
STOCKHOLM, June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology
(KTH) has received a gift from Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) to establish
a state-of-the-art Technology Lab for architecture, engineering and
construction (AEC). The lab will expand the university's leadership
in training and research in 3D building design, digital fabrication
and the sustainable built environment.
Trimble's broad Connected Construction portfolio enables
all professionals along the project lifecycle to accelerate project
processes—improving productivity, quality, transparency, safety and
sustainability, while reducing waste. The Trimble Technology Lab
will provide students enrolled in KTH's School of Architecture and
the Built Environment hands-on experience with Trimble solutions.
Applications of these solutions range from scanning buildings or
sites, design and 3D printing of architectural building models and
digital fabrication to implementing construction cost estimating
and scheduling to improve productivity and reduce costs. Partnering
with Trimble allows KTH to more fully integrate across its
curricula the technological tools that are rapidly transforming how
buildings and living environments are designed and constructed.
"The School of Architecture and the Built Environment is very
happy to establish this exciting, innovative collaboration with
Trimble," said Muriel Beser
Hugosson, head of the School of Architecture and the Built
Environment, KTH. "The new Trimble Technology Lab will support us
in offering applied experience of cutting edge technologies to the
next generation of civil engineers and architects during their
studies. We look forward to many exciting developments in both
education and research through our collaboration."
"Sweden's KTH Royal Institute
of Technology is an outstanding addition to our network of labs
around the world," said Tove
Lindbland, business development manager, Trimble Sweden. "We
believe the lab can play a significant role in providing students
with greater opportunities to acquire hands-on knowledge and skills
of advanced technologies that will allow them to make an impact in
the future for construction in the region."
"Trimble hardware and software applications, generously gifted
by Trimble, provide fantastic educational opportunities," said
Kjartan Gudmundsson, director of
First and Second Cycle Education, School of Architecture and the
Built Environment, KTH. "We will be able to further develop our
educational programs and courses with real-world applications for
design and modelling, estimation and planning based on virtual
design and construction, building energy performance analysis,
structural analysis, laser scanning photogrammetry and surveying.
It will make our current and future students even better prepared
for the challenges of the future."
The lab will include a broad range of Trimble's industry-leading
solutions such as the Trimble® SX10 scanning total
station and the TX8 scanner. Advanced software solutions include
RealWorks® scanning software, Trimble Business Center
Infrastructure Construction edition, Quadri, Novapoint, Quantum,
Tilos, Vico office suite, Tekla® Structures, Tekla
Structural Designer, Tekla Tedds,
Trimble Connect and the company's popular 3D modeling software,
SketchUp Pro and SketchUp studio bundle.
