Textile Fabrication

Saturday, 10 October 2026

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.

Resin 3D Printer

LumiBee

LumiBee is a compact resin 3D printer designed for home use. The printer uses light curable liquid resin and the screen of a mobile phone, which is inserted inside the device, as the light source. A control application slices the digital model into horizontal sections that are shown on the screen, and the light solidifies the resin layer by layer. About 95 percent of the parts of LumiBee can be produced with a low cost filament 3D printer. The structure is modular, and each segment has a specific function and can be customized.

Ceramic 3D Print Art Installation

Thursday, 8 October 2026

Yinyun

Yinyun is a ceramic art installation composed of 85 unique 3D printed units. Generative design algorithms were used to extract electric data and to visualize the data on every unit, together creating a gradient effect. The units were fabricated by ceramic 3D printing, using a mixture of white porcelain and coal ash recycled from a power plant. The printing process also creates a detailed surface relief on each piece. No two units are alike. The installation is permanently placed in an exhibition hall in Taipei, Taiwan.

Smartphone Stand

Wednesday, 7 October 2026

Relax

Relax Stand is a smartphone stand designed for use at night, before sleep. Two versions were made, a fireplace and a polar bear. The smartphone is placed on the stand and a dedicated video is played. The fireplace version shows flames, while the polar bear version is matched with the sound of waves. The stand and the screen form one calm scene, which helps users relax and set the phone aside. Each stand is made of transparent acrylic and produced by three-dimensional printing. The design also aims to show everyday uses for three-dimensional printing.

Functional Writing Instrument

Pulse

Pulse is a pen designed as both a writing tool and a sculptural object. The form is inspired by the calm shape of a cloud and appears to float. Generative patterns drawn from nature create biomorphic structures on the surface. Pulse is produced by lost wax casting, a method that reproduces fine organic detail. The pen can be cast in aluminum, silver, bronze or gold, with a polished or brushed finish. The height is 160 mm and the diameter is 13.5 mm. Metal finishing adds depth, texture and a tactile quality to a familiar everyday object.

Pavilion

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.
