Ripple Stool
Ripple stool is a FDM 3d printed chair, designed using parametric sinewave damping techniques that imitate radial patterns naturally generated by raindrops impacting pools of water.
The stool is intended to gently accomodate the user, balancing flexibility with rigidity thanks to soft double curvatures present in both the "base shape" and the "radial patterns" that spread across the surface.
Biomimetic clocks are a series of ornamental clocks inspired by biomimicry, powered at their core by a simple and reliable silent quartz mechanism. Aesthetic research was conducted using bio-oriented parametric design techniques. Manufacturing methods are a combination of CNC machining and 3d printing.
Unitaria - 3d printable stool
Unitaria is a single unit 3D printed generative stool design inspired by lattice structures, originated from a F2BCC unit cell topology.
the goal was to manufacture the design through the use of a large "desktop 3D printer", evaluating decentralized (consumer) production opportunities in the age of cloud manufacturing.
Mark Beccaloni owns a 3D printing service and has access to many cloud manufacturing platforms.
To this date mark has Designed and manufactured hundreds of products while working actively as a consultant & educator in the field of additive manufacturing (AM).
Testing the manufacturing processes in a dedicated professional setup will help kickstart challenging manufacturing projects: once the manufacturing process is proven they can be later outsourced to cloud platforms for larger production volumes.
High school courses tailored for students in order to comprehend CAD design techniques and 3d printing. The results of their design choices are evaluated with a physical FDM prototype, simulating design studio workflows and methodologies for improved professional orentation.
