Description

The hugefancy 3D printer is abstract symbiosis of open source technology as well as industrial hardware and was completely designed and developed by us. With this project, we are actively addressing the problems posed by plastics. A central question of our project is therefore how we can handle this resource responsibly. The created objects have an individual and direct relation to human beings. Such a design should enhance our interaction with these objects and positively influence our appreciation accordingly. A formal and/ or emotional connection to the human being is established. Everyday objects are created that are far more than commodities. It is precisely this kind of design that is intended to give the printed object more value and meaning - and to distance us as human beings from a merely disposable society.
