Collapsible lamp
December 3, 2009
There are lamps, and thereupon there are lamps. that beautiful lampshade falls under the latter, as it is capable of collapsing down to a virtually flat structure factor due to the way it was made using lasers.
The only way to create something with that sort of complexity is rapid prototyping—and laser sintering, to be exact. The process works by sweeping a laser across a pan of powdered nylon; when the lasers hit the nylon, it fuses ("sinters"). The process repeats in layers, until the final product emerges. Thus, you can create interlocking shapes all at once—for example, a chain whose urls are completely closed.
We wonder what else around the home would look better after undergoing some laser treatment...
