Sprout 3D Printed Bicycle

JunXiang Cheng 3D Printed Bicycle 3D Printing Wednesday, 21 October 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.

Conequeror Lamp

Kezia Age Lamp 3D Printing Tuesday, 20 October 2026

Conequeror

Crafted with an approach to redefining primitive nature, the Conequeror Lamp draws inspiration from primitive life and the Mbaru Niang, one of Indonesian traditional house. This lamp undergoes a transformative process, merging traditions with 3D printing techniques to show the detail. Its minimalist 3D-printed resin design reflects three intricate patterns of primitive nature, combined with LED technology which offering a palette of 13 vibrant colors to cast the patterns onto surrounding surfaces.

DefeXtiles Textile Fabrication

Jack Forman Textile Fabrication 3D Printing Monday, 19 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.

LumiBee Resin 3D Printer

Davide Marin Resin 3D Printer 3D Printing Saturday, 17 October 2026

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.

Yinyun Ceramic 3D Print Art Installation

Fabcraft Design Lab Ceramic 3D Print Art Installation 3D Printing Friday, 16 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.
