Digital Taihu

Digital Taihu uses 3D printing technology to activate the application of traditional Chinese culture in the digital age, combining Taihu stone with bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization algorithms to explore design generation methods from natural systems, resulting in digitally sustainable designs with optimized structures.

Anycubic Kobra

The design is a powerful and portable 3D printer, inspired by the modular design concept of military weapons such as firearms and fighter jets. The black as the main color with dark blue and Chinese red, which is simple but high-tech. Different from most printers on the market, it has the innovative auto-leveling function that enables the platform to be placed in a horizontal position without manual setting. With PEI coating, spring steels and the soft magnetic, which is absorbed instantly while putting it down.

Silhouette Collection

The project gives a second chance to such an unvalued object as a PET bottle, which would be normally thrown away after it has been used. The idea was to create a vase conserving only its silhouette. The vase itself represents an external shell with an inner neck fillet, so it can be screwed onto a bottle like a cap. The 3D printed structure dresses the bottle and makes it disappear under its mesh. The uniqueness of design is the result of choice of shapes, the reduced use of resources necessary for the 3D prints and the new life given to items destined to be discarded.

Sprout

Through the topology optimization of the bicycle frame deployment, and then according to the corresponding optimization results, the optimization of the corresponding frame prototype is completed, and then the bicycle is produced by 3D printing. The topology-optimized bicycle frame not only reasonably plans the material structure distribution , but also reduces the energy consumption rate and the emission of harmful substances in production.

Bird's Sake Cup

Bird's Sake Cups can only contain 10 ml of liquor so the alcohol can only be consumed in small amounts. One can consume alcohol in small amounts and stay healthy.

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.
