About Pluto タスクランプ

プルートはスタイルにしっかりと焦点を合わせています。そのコンパクトな空力シリンダーは、角度の付いた三脚ベースの上にエレガントなハンドルがあり、柔らかく焦点を合わせたライトで正確に配置することができます。その形は望遠鏡に触発されましたが、代わりに星ではなく地球に焦点を合わせようとしています。トウモロコシをベースにしたプラスチックを利用した3Dプリンティングで作られたこの製品は、3Dプリンターを産業用に使用するだけでなく、環境に優しいという点でもユニークです。

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.
