Light Chair

The light chair is an exploration of 3D printing with the robotic arm. A custom 2.85mm spool fed 3D printing end-effector was developed for the purpose of printing large scale furniture. The chair is one continuous print that carefully plans its path using a slicing algorithm. The thickest part of the chair measures 2.5mm and to provide support a series of ribs were printed into the chair. Post printing, the ribs are filled with carbon fiber stands and epoxy resin.
