About Spidique Stolička
Spidique je stolička vyrobená technológiou 3D tlače z materiálu PLA. Forma stoličky Spidique bola vygenerovaná pomocou softvéru Ameba, ktorý využíva algoritmus BESO na topologickú optimalizáciu. Vypočítaný tvar bol následne zdokonalený dizajnérskym tímom s cieľom zlepšiť ergonómiu a vizuálnu príťažlivosť. Do konštrukcie sú začlenené štíhle línie, ktoré vyvažujú vzhľad a mechanické vlastnosti. Prototypy boli vytlačené a testované z hľadiska pohodlia a odolnosti. Zámerom stoličky Spidique je dosiahnuť požadovanú funkciu s minimálnym množstvom plastu a zníženým odpadom materiálu.

- Unique Properties
- Spidique is a chair manufactured using 3D printing technology. Its shape calculation and design were carried out using the Ameba software, which employs the BESO (Bidirectional Evolutionary Structural Optimization) algorithm for topological optimization. A primary challenge during the design process was how to further optimize and redesign the computed chair shape.

- Design Challenge
- Navigating the optimization of the chair's computed shape posed a significant challenge. Historically, chair designs have been a blend of functionality and aesthetics, crafted over centuries of human experience. Today's social perspective demands both comfort and sustainability. While computation provides precise design outcomes, it sometimes lacks the human touch essential for ergonomics and visual appeal. External factors, such as production constraints, also influenced design choices. Moreover, with evolving technology, leveraging the right tools for accurate simulations was paramount. Bridging this gap between computational efficiency and human-centric design was the crux of my challenge.
- Research
- This design research focuses on the application of 3D printing technology in furniture manufacturing, aiming to explore its potential impact on innovation and environmental sustainability. I employed a comparative analysis, contrasting the efficiency, material usage, and environmental footprint between traditional furniture production and 3D printed furniture. Data collection primarily relied on surveys involving 20 furniture designers and 100 general consumers, and we also crafted a series of prototypes using CAD software and 3D printers. The results revealed that 3D printing technology can reduce material waste by approximately 25% and shorten production time by about 30% in furniture manufacturing. This discovery underscores the significant innovation opportunities 3D printing introduces to the furniture design industry, while also presenting a reduced environmental impact. In real-life implications, this suggests that the furniture sector is on the cusp of a transformative shift, which could not only stimulate commercial growth but also reshape consumption patterns and innovative thinking in the design world.
- Inspiration
- Plastic's introduction has drawn both praise and criticism. Its unmatched convenience makes it indispensable, but its environmental impact is concerning. In my opinion, plastic's eco-impact largely rests on our handling. When recycled efficiently, its harm lessens. Moreover, achieving design goals with minimal plastic material signifies sustainable design. Inspired by this, I'm developing a plastic-based design, leveraging simulations for structural support. Merging elegant lines into the chair's design, I aim to balance aesthetics with mechanics.
- Project Duration
- from February 2022 to September 2023.
Chengdu, Sichuan,China - Operation Flow
- Operation:
1. Initialize the algorithm with set parameters.
2. Run the algorithm to get the initial chair design.
