Rapid Prototyping firms - China

Postby tchi6 » Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:08 am

Hi guys, i need to have my design rapid prototyped for an exhibition and was wondering if anyone had any experiences with such firms in china that uses cnc or sla. I'm from Australia and have in the past, (for university) used local firms but it was very expensive and i understand that china can be a lot cheaper. I was wondering if anyone can suggest any firms they know of, or have had personal experiences with. thnx

Our design firm has started using China based RP firms,
One that has great communication (over e-mail and Skype) is Sunpe
The quality is great, technical knowledge excellent pricing is way more competitive than US and Canada, Although we have done jobs with other suppliers who deliver on time and quality at half the price, Sunpe seem to have all the systems in place for peace of mind.

A lot of students from the UK at our university used RPWORLD in china to get stuff done. The turnaround is incredible i had bits made and shipped out to me in 4 days.

I would say though that from a UK perspective the SLA is not any cheaper for us because they have to buy the resins from Europe. CNCing however was dirt cheap.

They do offer to do the finishing for you as well and what i saw the finishes were pretty good, however personally I prefer to do that sort of thing myself.

Doride lamp by Karim Rashid - LIKE in white

July 12th, 2009

rashidartemidetop.jpg

Designer Karim Rashid has designed a lamp inspired by a leaf blowing in the wind for Italian brand Artemide,

rashidartemide2.jpg

The lamp is composed of an articulated, hydro-formed, metal stem attached to a moulded-steel base that houses the electronic ballast.

The head of the lamp is able to rotate through 350 degrees and is equipped with thermoplastic louvers, resembling leaf veins, to minimise glare from the light source.

House in Nagoya by Suppose Design Office

July 15th, 2009

nagoyasupposetop2.jpg

Japanese architects Suppose Design Office have completed a residence in Nagoya, Japan, featuring a room dedicated to plants.

nagoyasuppose7.jpg

The house, situated on a narrow plot surrounded by neighbouring houses, accommodates the client’s desire for a vibrant garden by including a landscaped “garden room” bordering the main living space.

nagoyasuppose10.jpg

The architects aimed to treat the rooms and garden in the same way.

nagoyasuppose1.jpg

Objects associated with interiors, such as paintings, appear in the garden areas while rock and flowerbeds overlap into the living spaces.

The designers hope that the constantly changing internal gardens will continually alter the appearance of the home.

See our series of stories about Suppose Design Office:

House in Kamakura

Here’s some text from Suppose:

House in Nagoya

This Nagoya home features rooms designed for plants.

nagoyasuppose19.jpg

This home is built on a small, narrow plot surrounded by other houses, making the location less than ideal.

nagoyasuppose30.jpg

Responding to the client’s desire to have a vibrant garden we suggested a design featuring a room for plants, a “garden room” in other words.

nagoyasuppose3.jpg

Essentially, in this home the garden, which usually exists in the so-called exterior, is incorporated into the interior as landscaping to surround the tenant’s living space.

nagoyasuppose6.jpg

It was our intention to treat rooms and gardens as equivalent, and make the relationship between inside and out closer, by creating a design featuring this garden-like room so that things normally decorating a room such as art, books, and furnishings would in a way almost be thrust into an exterior space.

nagoyasuppose13.jpg

Rather than a design that begins to grow stale as soon as it is completed, through this design featuring the constantly changing and vibrant “garden room” we hope that the tenants daily lives will be richer than before.

nagoyasuppose15.jpg

Using this design as a starting point, we hope that words such as garden and landscape that had only been used for exteriors can begin to take on new and varied meanings, bringing vibrant and beautiful scenery into the interior of homes as well, and make architectural aesthetics more and more diverse.
