GT Experience

GT Experience brings the thrill and tension of circuit driving into sim racing through an immersive spatial enclosure. A modular pair of large scale 3D printed side panels shapes peripheral vision to deepen focus while staying open for home play and esports venues. Its sculptural form transforms visible layer lines into premium surface language, turning a manufacturing limitation into design identity. Lightweight elastomer modules improve safety, quick assembly, transportability, and compact storage.

Sound of Magma

Observation of infrasound generated by natural phenomena is attracting attention In Japan, where natural disasters occur frequently. Infrasound cannot be heard and seen, but infrasound generated by volcanic eruptions, for example, can be transmitted far and can be observed from a safe distance in order to avoid disaster. In collaboration with the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, experimental artworks in which infrasound is visualized and made audible were created to stimulate the sixth sense, the ability to sense nature, which modern humans have lost.

Anycubic Kobra 3D Printer

Anycubic Team 3D Printer 3D Printing Saturday, 19 September 2026

Anycubic Kobra

Anycubic Kobra is a compact 3D printer inspired by the modular design of firearms and fighter jets. The body is black, with dark blue and red details. An automatic leveling function places the platform in a horizontal position without manual setting, which simplifies operation. The print platform combines a PEI coating, spring steel and a soft magnetic layer, so the plate attaches instantly when put down, and printed models are removed by bending it. A 32-bit silent motherboard and an adjustable belt tensioner reduce noise during printing.

Aitable Furniture

Carlos Bañon Furniture 3D Printing Friday, 18 September 2026

Aitable

Aitable is a dining table supported by three bronze legs. Conventional tables carrying a heavy tabletop require a thick section beneath it. The branching legs of Aitable were shaped with artificial intelligence software that reduces material while maintaining structural performance. Precise 3D printed sand molds were used, and each of the three unique legs was cast in bronze and polished by hand. The polished surfaces create nuanced reflections under changing light. The table measures 1600 by 1000 by 750 millimeters.

Ruelle

Ruelle is a three-dimensional visualization of an old alley in the historic medina of Tunis. The scene was created to capture the atmosphere of the old city center, using a real alley as the reference. All models and textures were made manually from scratch, supported by scans of real surfaces. The irregular shapes, worn materials and decayed surfaces formed the main technical challenge. The geometry was lit and rendered with a physically based render engine, and the still images were produced at 4K resolution.
