DESIGN NAME: Calla Noir
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Decorative Floor Lighting
INSPIRATION: In response to project’s initiative to explore new 3D printing methods for end-product manufacturing, a single-layer printed lampshade was designed utilizing the various control mechanisms of the 3D printing FDM process to blend the printing material and generate a surface pattern that varies through the changing of light. Calla Noir, demonstrates the potential for 3D printed results as final finished product without additional post-processing.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The decorative floor lamp Calla Noir, at nearly 130cm tall, was printed on a large-scale delta style printer. With the help of new performance materials from Modex 3D filaments and our fabrication partners at Linkin Factory, we were able to achieve in Calla Noir, what just three years ago, seemed like an insurmountable task in 3D printing.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Using manufacturing techniques unique to the FDM 3D printing process, "Calla Noir" expresses the coded computational movements of the machine in the pattern and finish of the printed shell. This alleviates the "problems" of FDM printed works and changes our perception of this technology from prototyping to finished product.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in May 2018 in Tainan, Taiwan and was completed for digital art exhibition for the 2018 Taiwan International 3D Printing Show.
