The advances and innovations of the HEX condom are rooted in its unique reengineered hexagonal structure. This design, comprising a network of individual hexagonal cells, assigns a number of game-changing benefits to the condom. Taking cues from architecture and from nature, the material is incredibly thin overall, but without compromising on strength and protection. The raised structure is on the inside surface, for an increase in grip and a more comfortable fit.
Continue readingPerpetual is a 3D printed kinetic pendant with material available in resin, brass, silver and other metals. A new 3D printing method that enables interlocking structure was applied to allow the three layers of cubes spin in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation by itself. Each layer of cubic lattice breaks the notion of containment-the inner layers break though the cubic volume of its sequel container. The digital modeling process involves constant awareness of 3D Printing parameters and constrains, which bring design and manufacture an integrated process.

Continue readingThe flies trap lid is designed to catch flies. Compare with normal coffee cup lid, it not only has the traditional function but also can give a second life to disposable coffee cups. When people finish drinking, just press the trap bottom before throwing, the flies will be easily attracted by the residual coffee smell. Since this lid has a special conical structure hole, once the flies get in, it is hard to escape.
Continue readingNews Corp's Blow by Blow campaign was created to help promote coverage of the longest running Australian electoral campaign in a generation. The images, created in 3D, show the political armoury Australian representatives use as weapons against one another, and furthermore highlight three of the key political issues of modern times. The illustrations marry modern day political issues with brutal medieval weaponry. At first glance, the viewer may not notice the political issue, but on closer inspection the underlying message comes to life.
Continue readingThe "Digital Chaiselongue" is one of Philipp Aduatz latest experimental material technologies. He teamed up with the Austrian start-up incremental3d, who specialises in the field of 3D concrete printing and has developed a new technology to print very fine and detailed freeform geometries in a very short time. Aduatz’ aim is to show how an innovative product can be developed through the collaboration with engineers and the research in manufacturing technologies and why craft and digital implements can coexist for the purpose of novelty in the 21st century in harmony.
