3D Printed furniture

vishal · 2015-05-11T10:13:16.000Z

Hi guys I am a product design student currently doing my Final major project and need some help. My project is about 3D printing furniture,the aim of my project is to create a product that any one with a desktop 3D printer is able to make with a low budget but at the same time create a unique product that is really simplistic, different and functional.

What i want to know is what you guys think about this please leave a comment or fill out this quick survey it would really help me out thank you

Hey there @vishal !

Just filled in your survey. I love the idea of printing joints or other parts of furniture, in fact i plan on doing some more serious furniture printing in the future. If you need any help with your work, or just want to talk about it feel free to contact me: marko@arcasomni.com. Besides 3D printing I’m wood processing engineer, and I did some work for this company.

Cheers,

Marko Salopek

done,

I think to create a furniture you also need other materials as wood.

I found a great post about bending laser cut plywood.

Hi Marco,

Do you have any experience with bending laser cut plywood ?

I’ve heard about it and read about it, and I have the general knowledge on how it works and why and how to do it, but never actually had a chance to do a project with it.

Hi there

ive been experimenting with printed joints recently (a few pics on Google show what I’m talking about)

its a a really interesting topic and you should end up getting a good grade considering the subject matter your dealing with has deep implication on the economy and manufacturing…

reason why I think you should look into joints is its one of the only realistic ways to make unique without having to wait 3 weeks of printing time. In that case it would probably more of a step back if you tried printing a while sofa for example

hope that help!

and if you want to make some models cause your uni’s printers fully booked let me know : )

Hi Vish09,

I like the idea of this project and think it has a lot going for it.I would love to help you out with some of the printing. I am also a student and know how frustrating it is to wait in the line for the printer, so instead I brought one (probably could have spent the money more effectively somewhere else but o well). I would gladly give you a discount at my hub because you are a student. P.s. I’m in the Birmingham area.
