#3DPIAwards 2019 - Generative Inspiration

myminifactory

I envisioned a trophy that not only resembled an authentic award but also showcased the exciting possibilities of additive manufacturing and 3D printing. This tangible representation is both functional and visually striking, capable of being printed in SLA, SLS, and MJF processes. Its compact size makes it ideal for display within the Formlabs' Form 2 chamber. The "globe" portion features intricate voronoi details, a lattice backing, and structural support inspired by cutting-edge generative design techniques. The rim appears to be floating, yet is securely connected by delicate internal supports. At its base, a hidden spiral channel awaits discovery, adding an element of surprise to this innovative trophy.
