Raycounting
Light-mapped structural surfaces Raycounting is a method for generating form by registering the intensity and orientation of light rays. 3D surfaces of double curvature are
No-Limit Panels
3D sheet metal panels Rubber pad–based metal forming is a technique developed by the aerospace industry. Metaalwarenfabriek Phoenix applies this technique to manufacture double curved
Based Upon Surfaces
Liquid metal surfaces Based Upon has developed a series of multi-layered textured surfaces in metals, resins, and lacquers that are available to be specified as
Choreographed Geometry
Constructed three-dimensional fabric Choreographed Geometry is a systematically developed textile object whose geometry is exposed to a number of manipulative processes through its use in
PS Photo Tiles
High-resolution photographic tiles Sweden-based Parisima Kadh AB has developed a method for applying photographic images and other visual content to ceramic tiles. Unlike similar processes
Memorial Rebirth
Atmospheric thickening Developed by Japanese artist Shinji Ohmaki, Memorial Rebirth is an installation intended to “weave stories with countless bubbles.” The project consists of 50
Infinite-D
Anisotropic textured surface Neri Oxman visualizes, analyzes and reconstructs 2D natural micro-structural tissues into 3D macro-scale prototypes by computing hypothetical physical responses. She uses a
Shelf Space
CNC-machined hardwood The result of an experimental four-month collaboration with an aerospace machinery manufacturer, the fluid form of Paul Loebach’s Shelf Space pushes the limits
Vertebrae
Digitally-fabricated Corian bench Vertebrae is a kit of parts that allows the construction of multi-scale objects that modify the spaces they inhabit. This piece, while
Self-Repairing Matrices
Self-Repairing and Sensing Matrices The fact that structural damage can go undetected in many materials means that some products are often over-engineered. However, substances that
