Titled “The Pursuit of 3D Printable Design in the Era of Digital Fabrication,” this workshop will focus on how 3D printing can be developed into real consumer products that suit market needs, as well as business strategies on 3D printing design applications.

Additive manufacturing technology (3D printing) not only brings new beginnings to an industrial revolution, it also brings self-expression to new design approaches, allowing abstract ideas to be realized and new techniques to develop new form of geometries.

Today, additive manufacturing technologies can quickly create tangible items that allow individuals to touch, feel and assess their design.

The light design with Sla materials

Considering that the lamp is a kind of light container, I want to make a fusion of light and water. A bowl body can be symmetrical with each other, and then the two can be connected in one way. Finally, the upper part of the lamp can place liquid, and the lower part can be used as a mask for light. The gou'cheng element takes the tail of a whale as its base form.

Simulate the bowl shape formed by the ball hitting the water, which serves as the basic space for the upper part of the lamp to hold water

The abstract shape of the fishtail symbol is extracted and then rotated and repeated to shape the basic shape framework of the overall lamp

We want to create a series of seats that can be spliced and assembled for children at different stages. Children can create their own amusement park according to their imagination

Combination games

The running state of cartoon rabbit is extracted, and an arc with a turning radius of 6-8mm is used as the support inside, which can be used as a Trojan horse seat for children aged 3-5.

By Deng lin

The abstract form of children Trojan horse is extracted, the main function is the straddle Trojan horse. It can be combined with the first two seats to produce new furniture.

By Ren yichen

Using butterfly wings as the main form, it functions as a recliner for children aged 1-3, and is also the main link between the two rocking horses.

One touch Drawing——The running rabbit

Combination games

We took the assembled chair to the park, and many children were willing to try this novel "toy".

3D-printed clay cans

Clay printing technology is more limited and can not do more complex spatial modeling, so I will only discuss a single modeling change. Maya animation was used to simulate the texture of the liquid wrapped vase to make the overall shape.

As a support structure, it has high flexibility

Physarum polycephalum is a large, single-celled amoeboid organism that forages for patchily distributed food sources. It can find the shortest path through a maze or connect different arrays of food sources in an efficient manner with low total length yet short average minimum distance between pairs of food sources, with a high degree of fault tolerance to accidental disconnection.

Points Curves Triangles

Atsushi Tero from Hokkaido University in Japan, along with colleagues elsewhere in Japan and the United Kingdom, placed oat flakes on a wet surface in locations that corresponded to the cities surrounding Tokyo, and allowed the Physarum polycephalum mold to grow outwards from the center. They watched the slime mold selforganize, spread out, and form a network that was comparable in efficiency, reliability, and cost to the real-world infrastructure of Tokyo's train network.

Based on a computer scientist Jeff Jones's Processing program, the algorithm was put it to 3D form, which is the plugin for Rhino/ Grasshopper. Then, some new settings were added to gain more artistic expression.
