| IHD researchers have said that 3D printing can provide a range of adaptive Seat structure.  Furniture production can be a tricky business, and while not everyone is thinking much about the chairs and sofas they buy, some people really want to do it, and they need a personalized seat structure to satisfy them Every comfort-related need. That's why Dresden Institutfür Holztechnologie Dresden started the 3D-FeSy project at the German Timber Institute, and researchers will try to develop an integral upholstered furniture suspension using FDM 3D printing technology. Researchers believe that 3D printing for low-volume production and one-off design can be used to personalize custom furniture products, thereby reducing excessive warehousing costs and complex logistics, thereby reducing the burden of custom furniture production. But much remains to be done before researchers determine the effectiveness of 3D printing, and the 3D-FeSy project in particular aims to find out which 3D printing materials are best suited for replacing existing furniture suspension systems with print parameters and designs. These 3D printed suspension systems will be made into the furniture they are made of.They are not made of metal springs and wires, but are made of plastic, printed in various shapes to provide different forms of support. In terms of materials, the IHD team first examines the printability of certain thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers designed to perform the spring-loaded function of a piece of furniture at the same time, meaning that the material of choice must be highly durable of. Fortunately, the IHD will not enter the material selection process without any prior experience and in September 2016 the institute launched another 3D printing project, 'bioxXprint', trying to 3D print renewable raw materials into upholstered furniture Hierarchy. Regardless of the material chosen for 3D-FeSy, the goal is to develop a system in which accurate computer-controlled tuning of the 3D printed shape can affect the suspension behavior of the monobloc suspension system, which would ideally Covering a wide range of seats from super soft sofas to normal rigid seats. The 3D-FeSy project, which started in February, will soon be launching a series of new high-tech furniture tailored to individual customers using the latest 3D printing technology and materials research, and IHD is also planning future 3D printing projects. |
