ACC sponsor project

 2014 Fall/ sponsored project with American Chemistry Council

Many companies want to find solution to reduce their vehicles’ weight and also make them strong without heavy materials.  They are trying to use aluminum and carbon fiber plastic. I think plastic parts are much more effective way to make them strong and light.

 However, these days only few companies use reinforced plastic as specific parts. This is because, carbon fiber is very expensive and it is too much difficult to make all the parts of vehicle. In the future, innovation of plastic makes it possible to change all the materials of automobile industry. Thus, we need to think about how to change and how to use these kinds of stuff design wise. 

3D printing

3D printing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

The creation of 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In the last couple of years the 3D printing has become very trendy and famous technology.

3D printing has the advantage that can be processed into a three-dimensional printing is a complex structure 3D. Normally auto-company has used these 3D printers in their design process to create prototypes concept car. 

I also thought at last year in my studio class with Honda sponsor about If Using the 3D printing technology what we could make it for people? What will be benefit to future?

This concept is designed to showcase solutions for how to using 3D printing in automotive interior design. Once assembled, the platform structure is fully functional and the rest of the interior some part is 3D printed. This vision is that this 3D technology will allow to semi-customize components in order to suit to people.
