Technology of 3D Printing in the creation of design by Interior Design Students

Abstract

Printing technology continues to grow rapidly from time to time, which initially could only print two dimensional object, is now able to produce real three dimensional object. Three-Dimensional printing or three-dimensional printer can create a work of design easily, quickly and in detail. 3D printers can do various things such as; statues, car parts, toys, shoes, furniture, clothing, weapons, human body parts, and more, and even this printing ability will continue to increase. This kind of technology needs to be introduced formally and in creative ways to the students, in their creation activities and to train them to be creative thinker who can use the technology as a media to actualize the creativity. The technology of 3D printing can affect creativity, with the result that can realize idea inside the creation of design without experiencing the lead time design process. The creation of design experiment is done to observe the creativity of student in the utilization of that technology.

Do it yourself furniture: Part A - Designing fittings for an easy to manufacture hybrid chair

“…Software, 3D printers, and innovative materials can be assumed as game-changing advances that have impacts on traditional carpentry and, day by day, the number of researches that focused on the evaluation of these three factors in furniture production increases. Followings are some recent studies dealing with chair properties; Chair design (Sperling et al 2006), prototyping of a chair using 3D printing (Bhooshan et al 2017;Yulvan and Sunarmi 2019), use of 3D scanners and printers for the renovation of damaged round element used for joining the veneer laminated chair and metal legs (Akkaş and Andaç Güzel 2021), comfort evaluation of Office chair (Maradei García et al 2017), office chair design according to ergonomic-anthropometric approaches (Noshin et al 2018), user-oriented chair design (Kim et al 2011), design and evaluation of mechanical behavior of low-cost school chair (Začal et al 2016), and finite element analysis of chair (Aydın and Yılmaz Aydın 2017;Yılmaz Aydın et al 2016).…”
