The noodles got him thinking about curving forms that could keep electronics cords in place. \u201cWhile searching for some cheese in fridge to add to the pasta, I came across some Swiss, which provided inspiration for the holes that save on material,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>David prototyped the Loops &amp; Cheese at Shapeways, iterating on the thickness of his sculptural forms until he arrived at the right solution. And he still produces them on demand in Shapeways <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/materials\/strong-and-flexible-plastic\">Strong &amp; Flexible nylon<\/a>, then adds a rubber gasket to the bottom to keep the cable holder from sliding on the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though the project was conceptualized and produced years ago and was a super quick and simple project, it was nice to finally get some recognition for it,\u201d he says of the A\u2019 Design Award in 3D printed forms and products.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidhsudesign.com\/loopsandcheese\">order Loops &amp; Cheese<\/a> from the David Hsu Design website. It comes in a fanciful cardboard box.<\/p>\n<p>Have your 3D printed projects won you any awards?
