DefeXtiles

DefeXtiles is a technique for producing thin, flexible textiles on standard 3D printers. The method controls under-extrusion so that small globs form with fine strands between them. The resulting periodic gaps give the printed fabric a textile-like appearance, breathability, flexibility and stretch, even with rigid materials such as polylactic acid. The textiles are printed perpendicular to the print bed, so pleated and curved forms can be made. Applications include garments, tangible interfaces and shuttlecocks. Conductive filament can embed circuit traces in the fabric.

Plan Ta

The designer was inspired by his childhood upbringing surrounded by natural plants and building blocks in his room. This sparked the question of whether there was a way to combine the two. By utilizing the unique properties of space filling polyhedrons and 3D printing, the designer was able to find an answer to this question. The solution manifested into Plan Ta, a system of magnetic planter building blocks which not only can hold a variety of indoor plants but can also be used to build and play with.

Designer / Brand: Jiani Zeng Design Type: Voxel Printed Lamp Classification: 3D Printing Date: Thursday, 12 November 2026

Unream

Unream is a lamp produced with multi-material voxel 3D printing. The surface is covered with lenticular lenses that are printed together with the color content. Unream shows different colors from different viewing angles, so the object appears to display a moving image when a person walks past. The lamp acts as an object in daylight and as a light source at night. The height is 220 mm and the width is 100 mm. A computational workflow assigns material properties to each voxel, which allows optical textures on free-form surfaces.

Designer / Brand: JunXiang Cheng Design Type: 3D Printed Bicycle Classification: 3D Printing Date: Wednesday, 11 November 2026

Sprout

Sprout is a bicycle produced by three-dimensional printing. The frame is shaped through topology optimization, which places material only where it is needed and lowers the total amount used. Static stress analysis with the finite element method verifies the stability of the frame structure. The final model is printed in high density nylon. The bicycle measures 1630 mm in length, 600 mm in width and 832 mm in height. Printing removes the need for costly molds, so each frame can follow an individual design.

Designer / Brand: Naai-Jung Shih Design Type: Table Light Classification: 3D Printing Date: Tuesday, 10 November 2026

Moon

This light plays an active role to accompany people in a working space from morning to the night. It was designed with people working environment in mind. The wire can be connected to a laptop computer or a power bank. The shape of the moon was made of three quarters of a circle as a rising icon from a terrain image made of stainless frame. The surface pattern of the moon reminds the landing guide in a space project. The setting looks like a sculpture in the daylight and a light device that comforts the tense of work at night.

Designer / Brand: Justin Nardone Design Type: Pavilion Classification: 3D Printing Date: Monday, 9 November 2026

The Forum

The Forum is a pavilion designed as a venue for gatherings, public programming and the arts. The structure works as a stage, a screen and a backdrop, so the space can be adapted to different uses. Structure and facade are unified in one language of fluid surfaces made of aerospace grade aluminium. Sixty-six unique panels were shaped by digital sheet forming, without tooling or dies, in under twelve hours. The result is a large, lightweight and modular structure that is quick to produce and can be assembled with basic hand tools.
