The Twist (3d Printing)

Concept & Form Finding

Our 3D printing project embodies the fusion of functionality and aesthetic sophistication, drawing inspiration from the elegance of louvers panels and the captivating allure of twisted architectural forms.

This design merges the simplicity of the plus sign with a mesmerizing twist, creating an engaging visual effect that adds depth and dynamism to any space.

Trials & Errors

Our prototype testing in 3D printing embarked on a journey of temperature variance exploration, aiming to achieve a unique model through deliberate variations in printing conditions. By manipulating temperatures during the printing process, we sought to investigate the impact on layer consistency and seam integrity within the final model.
