The Lotus Flower it’s a kinetic and dynamic structure. The goal of the exercise was to producing 3d printed pieces and explore the design opportunities arising from the potential and limitations of the technology to create a dynamic assembly with 2mm diameter rods linked together by 3d printed pieces. Our idea was to design just [...]

Lotus
In the design process we aimed to experiment with different types of assembly. Each rode finishes with a sphere which arrives to a central assembly point.

Curtain Holes
The joints were designed to take advantage of the 3d printer’s ability to create small, yet detailed 3-dimensional objects. Each joint has multiple holes to allow rods to fit in 8 different directions. The dynamic movement of the structure resembles that of a curtain. The structure can take several forms by sliding the joints through [...]
