on a goal towards additive aerospace
Three kayaks, of the same design, printed at RISE in three different materials and tested on the water at GKF (Göteborgs Kanot Föreningen). PLA with cellulose, rPE with wood fiber, PP with glass fiber.
A second trip of 10 km between the office at RISE and the Additive Intelligence conference at Lindholmen Gothenburg tested the polypropylene kayak on a longer trip.
Forget to tack your beer? Tired of coffee spilling jibes? Designed for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), printed in one piece, the gimbaled bevy holder is here to save your day and let you rest at ease during those trying moments. Cocktail sailing during non-cocktail breezes is just one gimbal holder away. Snaps onto a typical… Continue reading Gimbal
Stylish 3d-printed fridge box for the cheesiest of your vegan cheeses No-one wants a dried out cheese. Keep your vegan cheeses fresh, ready-to-eat, and fast-action sliceable for your cheesy sandwich pleasure with this support-free additively manufacturable fridge box. This vegan cheese fridge box is designed with a typical Violife block in mind but will work… Continue reading Vegan Cheese box
Karrimor Pannier Redesign A lightweight, strong and minimalist bike bag mount is difficult to come by. Please send innovative ideas my way. I received an inquiry about reproducing, via 3d printing, a pannier mount from a vintage Karrimor brand bag. When I received the photos of the original design, I instantly thought that there must… Continue reading Pannier Mount
Topology optimized – 3d printed bottle opener The challenge of this task is to create a bottle opener that can be printed using PLA and function nominally. The goal is to use this task to become more familiar with FEA (Finite Element Analysis), Topology optimization and the design process for polymer additive manufacturing. The result… Continue reading Bottle opener
The Creality Ender 3 has an issue with filament chafe. With the filament lead coming down from above the machine there is a sharp corner at the extruder that chafes away at the filament. Designed to slide over the existing Z screw nut, the gentle curve of this large radius bearing is one solution to… Continue reading Ender3 filament guide bearing
The stand is modeled to fit a previously existing Flask by a Swedish brand called Low Key Goods. This flask does not have a base, therefore cannot stand on its own. Flask body is modeled using the Form workspace in Fusion 360. The stand is in two pieces which allows for 3D printing without support.… Continue reading Salve Flask – Stand and funnel
For the parts to easily fit one another, maintain alignment to allow assembly, and be easily removable from the form after assembly, a clearance of 0.6 mm is designed into the fixture. FDM printers have some limitation to their accuracy. This limitation is typically accounted for by designing in some offset or clearance tothe parts. If the… Continue reading Fixture
Designed to be 3D printed in place and without any support, this locomotive pulls all the stops when it comes to DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacture). Wheels unclip and shear open, the cabin is removable and the smoke prints with a second color.
Design assignment from 3d-printingspecialist. Based on traditional Swedish LOKET machinist practice.
Additive manufacturing allows us the opportunity to easily add complexity to a design that was previously difficult or impossible to manufacture. Here we use the benefits of additive manufacturing to redesign a vacuum forming mold with internal cooling channels with the goal of decreasing cycle time of the vacuum forming process. A drawing and CAD… Continue reading Conformal cooling
