Georgia

Georgia is a high heel shoe made with 3D printing. The platform combines the insole, midsole, outsole and shank of a conventional heel into a single 3D printed part. A digital mesh cushion is built into the platform to give springy support, and internal mechanisms allow the whole shoe to act as a spring, which reduces wear over time. A window on the underside allows the upper to be separated from the platform, so all parts can be recycled. On-demand printing allows a wide size range, from size 4 narrow to size 14 wide.

Last Stand

Last Stand is a pencil extender designed to keep short pencils in use. The body is 3D printed in resin and measures 15 millimetres in diameter and 150 millimetres in height. A moving centre piece, machined from aluminium alloy on a five axis machine, allows the pencil to be repositioned after each sharpening. A cap holds the pencil in place, and the back point can be used for craft work. The body is printed in two parts, the metal piece is inserted, and both parts are joined with the same resin. The aim is to reduce pencil waste.

The Flett

The Flett is a roof flashing designed for standing seam architectural cladding. The flashing is produced by 3D printing in ASA plastic, measures 265 by 50 by 100 millimetres and is 2 millimetres thick. The form under-laps one cladding sheet, allows a change in direction, then overlaps the next sheet. The part is matched to the profile and colour of the roofing sheet, and the material is thermally stable, UV stable and nontoxic. The flashing can be installed in sequence by general trades, and aims to reduce leaks at difficult roof junctions.

Anycubic Kobra

Anycubic Kobra is a compact 3D printer inspired by the modular design of firearms and fighter jets. The body is black, with dark blue and red details. An automatic leveling function places the platform in a horizontal position without manual setting, which simplifies operation. The print platform combines a PEI coating, spring steel and a soft magnetic layer, so the plate attaches instantly when put down, and printed models are removed by bending it. A 32-bit silent motherboard and an adjustable belt tensioner reduce noise during printing.

Bird's Sake Cup

Bird's Sake Cup is a drinking cup designed to limit alcohol intake. The cup holds only 10 ml of liquor, so a drink is taken in small amounts over time. The form recalls a small bird, and the beak holds a hole sized to release the liquor slowly. Bird's Sake Cup supports people who are sensitive to alcohol and people who need to reduce alcohol consumption. The cup is made of transparent acrylic by three-dimensional printing. It measures 40 mm in width, 130 mm in height and 60 mm in depth, and weighs 35 grams.
