watch the video to see how it was created!
Hyphae is a collection of 3D printed artifacts constructed of rhizome-like networks. Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, we created a simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structures. Starting from an initial seed and a surface, we grow a hierarchical network where nodes constantly branch and merge. The densely interconnected structure is at once airy and strong.
Inspired by Nature, with an artificial twist.
New Version! More support added so it is now harder to fall due pen weight.
Protect your phone without giving up style. The “shattered” case replicates the mesmerizing "jig saw puzzle" pattern of broken glass. This stylish case is expected to catch the attention of “everyone”.
Also, since the case was handmade by robots (aka 3D printing), people will be fascinated by how it was made.
On the Shapeways website, this case is only available in “white” polished nylon without stain blocking protective coating. Before you use the case, I recommend that you apply this coating (not included with the case). This will help protect the case from ordinary stains.
On the ArtizanWork website (www.artizanwork.com), this case is available in 4 colors – white, red, grey, and black. All cases sold from this site are polished and sealed with our protective coating. The prices will be higher on the Artizanwork website due to the additional hand finishing of the cases with the protective coating.
This is an iPhone 5 cover with moving gears I developed for Engineers, Designers and Mechanically minded people, however it seems to attract a broader audience so I've got it here for everyone to experience.
You get this baby printed, you get a sense of achievement because you assembled it, you spin those little 1.25 module gears and admire it in awe. The gears have odd and even number of teeth just to make it that bit more challenging when working out ratios, it's a great visual to see what direction what gear is going in a gear train. You won't even have to turn on your phone and it still works.

Please note that 3d printing is not perfect even though I've made all adjustments to make this product fit and move as good as possible in some cases some manual adjustments may be necessary.
OPTIONAL STEP: SLS 3d Printing of Strong & Flexible Material produces a porous surface which collects dirt and grime, before assembly you may want to give the parts a light spray of clear varnish or lacquer for extra protection, especially if you're going for light colours.
