Humos Deposition Modeling

The research investigates the innovative application of Liquid Deposition Modeling (LDM) technology in creating customized hummus dishes. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, combining food science and engineering, the potential of 3D printing to transform traditional hummus preparation and presentation is explored. The study addresses formulation challenges, printing parameters, and potential applications of humus printing in personalized nutrition and culinary arts.

Dual Automatic Open-Source Ventilation System

The need for developing this device arose during the COVID-19 pandemic due to an alleged shortage of ventilators and the anticipated demand during the first wave. Later, it was revealed that this concern was greatly exaggerated. The research was conducted autonomously during the lockdown and included five principal configurations based on electronics, technical assemblies, and accessible mechanisms.

The core of the research focused on refining a methodology consisting of six stages:
A. Identifying the Need – Observing and interpreting reality.
B. Establishing a Research Framework – Data collection and information mining.
C. Development – Following a production protocol utilizing available household manufacturing tools.
D. Implementation – Beta versions and design iterations.
E. Documentation – Producing assets and visual media.
F. Sharing – A decentralized global anonymous community with diverse skills and capabilities.

Ducks

The portable dartboard worn on the back represents the duality of being a target—both playful and thought-provoking. It introduces a game that balances fun with risk, inviting participants to engage while questioning the boundaries of responsibility and play. It highlights physical and emotional vulnerabilities, prompting reflection on the fine line between entertainment and risk in social dynamics.

Climbing Wall

The pants feature yellow climbing holds designed for "climbing" children—both literally and metaphorically. This speculative design humorously reimagines the parent-child dynamic, blending functionality with play and exploring the parent's role as a physical and emotional "climbing ground." It envisions clothing that fosters shared play, closeness, and imagination beyond its everyday function.

Power tools 3d printed fixtures

A series of 3D-printed fixtures and jigs designed to create a safe work environment when operating power tools. These tools provide stability, precision, and safety, ensuring that workers can perform tasks efficiently while minimizing the risk of accidents. The 3D printing technology makes these fixtures and jigs easily accessible to every end user, allowing for widespread implementation and enhanced workplace safety.

One Day - 100 Meters
A design research project exploring processes and outcomes under lockdown, isolation, and social distancing. The project utilizes available resources within a 100-meter radius.

Futuristic Nostalgia

The project explores the connection between nostalgia, memory, and physical objects using advanced manufacturing technologies. It raises questions about the essence of memory – whether it resides in the object itself or its symbolic value. The project began with printing structural components for a computer-controlled machine and expanded into investigating the potential to create new memories through the design of objects in the digital age.

Relics - Printed Fender Telecaster

This project explores two approaches to guitar design: subtractive technology and additive manufacturing. Subtractive methods, like traditional wood carving, emphasize craftsmanship and acoustic qualities but result in material waste. Additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing, offers the opportunity for lightweight, customizable designs with less waste. The 3D-printed Telecaster-inspired body demonstrates how modern techniques can create unique forms that would be challenging to achieve traditionally. By combining elements of both methods, the project suggests a thoughtful way to blend tradition with innovation in instrument design.

Personalized Lithophine Light Fixture

Managing an online design studio involves implementing a methodology that supports the entire design process—from initial concept to production and delivery to the end client—without requiring in-person meetings. This approach effectively simulates the complexities of logistics within an efficient, compact, and sustainable framework, minimizing reliance on external resources while fostering active participation and collaboration throughout the process.

Monopod stub and shoot

The "stubbing" concept combines functionality, design, and technology into a compact, portable tool. These 3D-printed pieces, inspired by the form of a knife blade, serve as customizable monopods for smartphones, enabling quick installation for capturing photos or videos. Designed for adaptability, they can be tailored to fit various smartphone models.

The act of "stubbing" reflects the pervasive role of technology in daily life, transforming a traditionally harmful form into a practical device. This design highlights the intersection of utility and commentary, emphasizing the balance between technological progress and its societal impact.

This design integrates a functional fan with a refreshing element. A popsicle is positioned at the center, allowing the fan to circulate cool, flavored air as it operates. The popsicle can also be consumed, enhancing the cooling experience. This concept transforms a standard appliance into a dual-purpose device, combining practicality with an interactive feature.
