PPPRINTA 彈性張力成形實驗燈具

設計概念 :
近年來，3D 列印技術隨著設備與數位技術的普及，已從原型驗證轉向大規模客製化的市場。其中，熔融沉積成型（Fused Deposition Modeling, FDM）因技術成熟、操作彈性高且材料多樣，受到大眾消費者喜愛，廣泛作為原型測試及客製化產出的媒介。
本計畫突破熱熔成型作為造型打樣的傳統製程，結合彈性布料的張力，將平面圖案列印於拉伸狀態的布料上，使平面圖形轉變為立體單元。展現不同於熱擠出印象的柔軟曲線，以更少的列印材料實現數位工藝的可能性。
製程方法 :
將平面圖案列印於拉伸狀態的彈性布料上，當張力釋放時，列印區域對布料產生局部控制，使其產生自然的皺褶與立體形態。基於此原理，我進一步測試不同織物彈性、列印材料層厚與外框對變形曲率的影響。透過模組化的列印單元組建外型，再以光線展現布料收縮後的質地，構成多樣型態的系列燈具。

PPPRINTA : Elastic Tension Shaping Study

Design Concept
This project moves beyond traditional FDM prototyping by integrating the tension of elastic fabrics. By printing patterns onto pre-stretched textiles, 2D graphics are transformed into 3D units. This approach achieves organic curves that contrast with the typical aesthetic of FDM, exploring the potential of digital craft through minimal material usage.
Process Method
The process involves printing planar patterns onto stretched elastic fabric. When the tension is released, the printed regions exert localized control over the textile, inducing natural folds and 3D geometries. Based on this principle, I further tested how fabric elasticity, print layer thickness, and frame constraints influence the resulting curvature. By assembling these modular printed units, a series of lighting fixtures was developed, using light to accentuate the unique textures and diverse forms created by the fabric's contraction.
