About Pluto 任務燈

冥王星始終專注於風格。它的緊湊型氣動缸由優雅的把手環繞，該把手固定在成角度的三腳架基座上，從而使其更易於通過柔和但聚焦的光線進行精確定位。它的形式是受望遠鏡啟發的，但是相反，它試圖聚焦於地球而不是恆星。它使用玉米基塑料進行3d打印製成，不僅適用於以工業方式使用3d打印機，而且具有環保優勢。

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.
