About Crested Ibis Ururinta Alaabta Guriga

Crested Ibis waa ururin alaabta guriga ah oo laga waxyoonay shimbirta khatarta ku jirta ee crested ibis (ibis timo-madax leh). Ururintu waxay ka kooban tahay miis, qayb khaanadaha wax lagu dul dhigto ah iyo shaashad guri-kala-qaybiye ah. Qaababku waxay raacaan baalasha, qoorta, lugaha iyo baalxaadka shimbirta. Qayb kastaa waxaa lagu daabacay daabacaad 3D ah iyadoo la isticmaalayo walxo isku-dhafan oo polylactic acid ah oo dabiici ahaan u burbura, iyagoo la adeegsanayo habka fused deposition modelling. Qaab-dhismeedyada waaweyn waxaa loo sameeyay hal qayb si loo xoojiyo xasilloonida. Qaybaha waaweyn waxaa si gaar ah loo daabacaa, waxaana lagu isku xiraa xidhmooyin qarsoon oo mortise iyo tenon ah, sidaas darteed isku-dhisidu uma baahna qalab. Ururintu waxay taageertaa wacyigelinta noole-kala-duwanaanshaha iyo wax-soo-saarka waara.

Production Technology
The Crested Ibis Bionic Furniture Series is 3D printed with single color Polylactic Acid composite. Formaldehyde free and biodegradable, it has high load bearing strength, aligning with sustainable design. Main structures use one piece molding to restore bionic forms and ensure stability. Oversized parts adopt split printing with hidden mortise and tenon assembly, reaching over ninety five percent material utilization and low carbon emission.
Design Challenge
The core challenge of this study lies in simultaneously balancing and integrating the furniture practical functions, structural mechanical stability, 3D printing process feasibility, and sustainable environmental protection concepts on the basis of organic form bionic design that accurately restores the biological characteristics of the crested ibis.
Research
This study designs a crested ibis inspired bionic furniture series. It adopts industrial Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printing and Polylactic Acid material, with one piece molding for low carbon production without molds. The series combines organic aesthetics, practical functions, biodiversity conservation and sustainable design, providing a reference for furniture innovation.
Inspiration
This Crested Ibis Bionic Furniture Series draws core inspiration from the elegant form and biological structure of the endangered crested ibis. Its desk, shelving units, and screen partition mimic the bird's wing, neck, legs, and feather traits, integrating natural grace with lightweight strength, stable load-bearing, and functional daily design.
Project Duration
The design had started in Shenyang in January 2025, completed in Shenyang in June 2025, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2025.
Operation Flow
Designed for home study rooms and living rooms, this furniture series also adapts to diverse spaces like open work areas and entryways. The entire collection is easy to install without tools,just place the main structure in position for immediate use. The modular components can be quickly assembled by hand using hidden mortise and tenon joints.
