Futurama - 3D Printed Interior Designs
For the Futurama innovation hub, at SAEKI we developed a computational design tool for a fully parametric staircase, enabling direct control over geometry, structural logic, and fabrication constraints. The staircase was robotically 3D printed at full scale using glass-fiber-reinforced ABS, demonstrating how computational design can seamlessly interface with large-scale additive manufacturing.
In parallel, the project included the development of HC3DP-based furniture and interior elements, applying hollow-core extrusion principles to achieve lightweight, material-efficient components with high geometric resolution. Together, these elements illustrate how computational design, material systems, and fabrication technologies can be integrated into cohesive architectural environments.
Projects like this operate as a bridge between research, practice, and industry, testing architectural ideas under real constraints while feeding back into ongoing methodological and technological development.
