After several prints and couple edited versions. I came up the design with the right angle, no overhangs and fully capable to be printed without any supports. Ready to produce in clay.
The machine was customized with simple structure. The clay container is connected, with a hollow tube, to the nozzle where the clay will be then added for printing via air pump system. It was also a great practice for me to mix the material by myself.
Regarding to the material, there was a constraint that the cup need to be printed without support structure or it would be later inseperable from the cup. This cup was successfully printed on its second try.

Tilted Cup
Kick-start project at AHO. I made a ceramic cup with FDM printing technolgy, having liquid clay as a material. The cup is designed to has a tilted form, providing the gimmick in aesthetics together with inviting the users to interact with.
The most important part of the process was to test the ability to print the desired form with zero support. Fortunately, several FDM printers were advocated by the course. The prototypes were being printed in PLA.

Klik
The incremental design project of Technoform studio. Regarding to the theme ‘Safety & Security’. I decided to improve safety to the Utility knife, familiarly handy tool which is used for cutting. by designing new mechanism to expose the blade.
Generally, exposing the blade could be done by sliding mechanism. The problem is the positioning of the slider, which is often located on the side where user usually place their thumb on. This can easily cause an accident. Inspired by the mechanical pencil, ‘KLIK’ is a utility knife with clicking mechanism. The product is user-friendly not only in appearance but also the usage. Additionally, by removing the slider on the side, the knife is capable for both right-handed and left-handed users, and most importantly much safer to use.

With the aim to make the desired mechanism by using only 3D printing in model production. To achieve that, it is mainly about trials and errors. With high attempt, numbers of printed prototypes, I eventually came up with the design that works including inner and outer trays.
To follow, I did some form studies by sculpting the car clay until I find the most ergonomically efficient form. I started sketching and then applied themechanism to the design.
Technoform October 2018
How it works? While clicking, the outer tray is being pushed down. Besides, it carries a freely moveable inner tray with it. Meanwhile, when released, the outer tray travels back to its previous position but not the inner tray. Thus, it will expose the blade one step out per one click.

Producing 3 variations, several materials have been used, including MDF board, acrylic, wood, resin and nylon powder.
Using digital fabrication methods for prototyping is convenient. Besides, post-production still required to be done manually.
‘Composites’ exhibition at AHO gallery, November 9th 2018. There were 11 projects from the course exhibited.
The course encouraged students to experience technologies by getting their hands on and making objects. Which was both enjoyable and instructive.

Time to be seen
Digital fabrication, technologies and processes, the course focused on seeking a deeper insight in the utilization of digital fabrication through practical exercises. ‘Time to be seen’ the conceptual design project aimed to give the new aspect of how we can visualise time in a simple yet purposive way.
Time is an abstract term. It is indefinite and continual. Accordingly, indicating time could be done by having simple elements travel in the loop as presented in the design.
With the same concept, 3 configurations have been made through different digital fabrication technologies in order to express the characteristics of each.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) provides the ability to create the moveable 3D model at once. Laser cutting which has the potential to cut/engrave the surfaces precisely. Besides, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling makes it possible to shape material like wood into desired form modeled via 3D modeling software.

Airound
Air pollution has been one of the world’s major issues ever since. Billions of people still have to live unhealthily in their homeland full of toxic climate. Accordingly, ‘Airound’ is a radical design project focuses on solving this serious problem for the world.
Captured from the top, polluted air flows all the way round the tube, purified by the filter and UV-ray inside. As a result, fresh air will be then evenly blown down creating individual safe atmosphere for the user.
Here comes the question. Do we really want to live in this world? The world where everybody carries this device for their personal purified air. No sharing, no caring for one another. Instead, is it time that we all start caring more for the world?
Like an umbrella on a rainy day, ones can use the device to protect themselves from the outdoor pollution they face everyday. To recharge, simply put the device on the charging stand. 21
Aiming to play a role as provocative design. This product could be something which raises people’s awareness and triggers the discussion on the problem purposively.
The stick can be enfolded and use as a handle, with the size of a handbag. The device can be carried easily in a compact way.
The prototype was done in 1:1 scale, the ring were seperated into pieces and printed in PLA while the more detailed upper parts were printed with SLS.
There were also parts that I shaped manually from styrofoam. After extensive sanding, I sprayed all the parts then glue them together.
This project was exhibited together with ‘Klik’ project on December 12th-17th 2018, in ‘AHO WORKS studio exhibition’ Autumn semester 2018 at AHO

Insectrum
Protohype studio, the course focused on radical approach in design for the future. Insects, sustainable nutritous future food, a solution to feed the world hunger. ‘Insectrum’ is a smart desktop device for the cricket lovers to grow their favorite source of nutritions conveniently at home.
Prototyping Process
The device consists of 3 parts. To begin the cycle, place a package of live crickets into the main hub from the front drawer, it will then be the habitation for the crickets.
29
Smart feeders on the top will automatically feed the crickets as scheduled by the user and will notify when refill needed.
In approximately 2 weeks, the egg catcher located on the ground will collect eggs to its limit. There will be light and sound notifying the user.
Link to Presentation Video By slightly push the hub on the side, the egg catcher will be transfered in for the incubation. And the empty catcher from the other side w ill be ready for the next generation.
During the incubation, Temperature and humidity are controlled by the smart panel. Offering perfect condition for hatching. It will take up to four more weeks until they are ready to become the next breeders.
New breeders will be captured to the main hub though the vacuum panel. Substituting the early generation which will be collected to the buttom section for cleaning and processing. As a result of cricket powder ready for consuming.
The main goal is to create the picture of the future where people started to put insects in their ordinary diet. Introducing this peculiar food into the kitchen, the product was designed to be placed on any countertop just like any coffee machine.

In most of Western countries where majority of people are still skeptical about eating insects. In order to create the change on people’s perception of whimsical but sustainable food like insects, the key factor is familiarity.
The iconic Popcorn cart is used as the frame of reference, it is universal and people are familiar with it. The point is to provide customers a cliff to hang when it comes to this extraordinary food.
The Deep-fried bugs can be referred to Popcorn as they are both crunchy snacks to enjoy on-the-go. Tired of boring popcorn? what about nutritious snack from the bucket instead!
The product is designed as a transportable Food vendor, making edible bugs more accessible to everyone and creating the curiousity for those who have never tried. With that in mind, the brand ‘Bugs in the bucket’ is formed.

By 2050, world population projected to reach 9.8 billion. Edible insects is believed to be the food of future and potentially be on of the greatest solution to feed the world hunger as they are abundant, rich in nutrients and sustainable.

Spirit of the grains
Handcrafted Knives shelf, the goal is to bring out the aesthetic value of wood grains by scraping out the wood skin layer by layer as the pattern of the grain is shown. As the grains are uniquely different in each piece of woods. The out come is an extraordinary shelf, one piece in the world.
These Pictures shown the Design Developments from techniques trials to Wood selection. Ash wood was picked as it has obvious grains and is a hard type wood which gives good durability.
With the goal to bring out the most value of Ash wood grains. Numbers of trals and errors have been done. ‘Wood router machine’, use to scrape the wood out from its surface by the metal spindle, is the final pick. I scraped out the wood layer by layer as follow to its grains. The grains change as I dig deeper.
‘We are like blocks of wood, we can change our finish but not our grain’ Alan Robert Neal 57
Spirit of the grains, knives container is 11cm width 19cm height and 23cm depth. It can contain upto 5 knives.
The grains of the woods are varies in different species of the trees. Moreover, even the same tree still has different grains along the cone. Wood grains is what makes wood a truly unique material.
Wood grains is the soul, the spirit of the woods. Here comes the name ‘ Spirit of the grains’ and concept behind the design.
