Nebula Lamp reflect a research about computational tools as essential elements for the form
finding process and additive manufacturing as a meaning of production.
The 3d printed object is no longer just a prototype, but is the final product; and
the characteristic look of the 3D printing plastic is no longer synonymous with
an uncompleted design process but is a symbol of new processes that override
in meaning and functionality the old ones.

Each stool is designed with a unique series of random triangles generated by an alghoritm, then the wood is cut using a laser and all the triangles are joint toghether with cableties. the result is a lightweight stool with a innovative soft structure.

The exhibit consist on a system of customization and production,
the visitors were invited to first play with the interactive digital object and after to experience the 3D printing process thanks to the open frame of a RepRap.

The purpose of the installation was to show the link between virtual environment and material world as well as acknowledged of new computational and fabrication possibilities for designers.

This are the tool I used
Grashopper [http://www.grasshopper3d.com];
Kangaroo [http://www.food4rhino.com/project/kangaroo];
FireFly [http://www.fireflyexperiments.com/];
Arduino [http://arduino.cc/];
RepRap [reprap.org];

Have a look at the video!

This experiment aim is to prove and realize a system that can be implemented on a mass customization scenario.
