THE CHALLENGE

Robotic printing company Massive Dimension required a trade fair demonstrator that functioned as both chair and table while showcasing their large-scale 3D printing capabilities. The design challenge involved exploring AI-assisted design processes to create complex organic geometries that would deliver immediate visual impact at exhibitions. I chose crystalline ice structures as inspiration—forms that demonstrate the technology's precision while creating thematic resonance around preservation in our changing climate, transforming a functional demonstrator into a conversation piece.

THE innovation

I developed Gemmetrex using AI-enhanced design workflows to translate nature's crystal geometry into manufacturable forms. The design features diamond-shaped formations arranged in an hourglass configuration, 3D-printed in translucent recycled PETG that captures light while proving the technology's capability for complex geometries. The modular three-component system enables large-scale robotic printing while maintaining structural integrity. Using Vizcom AI for crystal imagery integration and recyclable materials, the design demonstrates both technical capability and circular economy principles—proving sustainable luxury furniture viability through advanced manufacturing.

THE DEMONSTRATION STRATEGY

Gemmetrex makes robotic printing capabilities tangible through immediate visual and functional impact. Trade fair visitors experience the technology's precision through intricate crystal geometries while using the piece as functional booth furniture. The translucent recycled PETG material showcases sustainable manufacturing potential, proving that advanced technology can produce both complex organic forms and environmentally conscious products.

IMPACT & VALIDATION

Commercial Implementation:

Currently in production by Massive Dimension and More Than Layers
Registered design protection (No. 015100248-0005) validating commercial viability
Scheduled as technology demonstrator at RAPID 2026

Business Relevance: This project demonstrates my ability to create demonstrators that serve multiple strategic purposes: immediate visual impact for trade shows, functional utility as booth furniture, and meaningful narrative that elevates technology showcases beyond pure capability demonstrations. Manufacturing companies need demonstrators that attract attention, prove technical capability, and create memorable brand experiences—Gemmetrex delivers all three.
