The Design

About Pluto Taaklamp

Pluto hou die fokus stewig op styl. Die kompakte, aërodinamiese silinder wentel om 'n elegante handvatsel op 'n skuins driepootbasis, wat dit makliker maak om te posisioneer met die sagte, maar gefokusde lig met akkuraatheid. Die vorm is geïnspireer deur teleskope, maar probeer om eerder op die aarde te fokus in plaas van op die sterre. Dit is vervaardig met 3D-drukwerk met behulp van koring-gebaseerde plastiek en is nie net vir die gebruik van 3D-drukkers op 'n industriële manier nie, maar ook vir die eko-vriendelike werking.

Tags: 3d printing, brazilian design, space, focus, PLA
Production Technology: Pluto was manufactured by Gantri, a company based in San Francisco. It utilizes corn-based plastics. Making it not only innovative, for using 3d printers in a industrial fashion, but also very eco-friendly.
Design Challenge: In order to make the design viable for FDM 3d Printing, we had to test out and split it into various interconnecting pieces that were later assembled together to form the final product.
Research: We worked on developing a complex form, full of negative space while still facilitating the printing and assembly process.
Inspiration: Pluto was inspired by telescopes, which use tripods and dynamic but stable forms. But instead, I sought to design a light that focuses on the earth instead of the stars.
Project Duration: The project started as an individual project from March to the end of June 2018 and was developed alongside Gantri's engineering from July 2018 to January of 2019.
Operation Flow: Pluto is equipped with a dimmable LED bulb that is regulated by a switch attached to its power cord. The amount of light being cast can be controlled to the user's preference.
