Designing permanence through manufacturing flexibility.
“Objectified” is a collection of LFAM-printed mono-material objects designed to demonstrate principles of circular economy through modularity and recyclability.
Key Insights
Circularity begins at the intersection of design, material, and process.Household objects have become disposable; this collection reimagines them as enduring, reconfigurable artifacts. LFAM allows for closed-loop reuse of material and easy customization without tooling.
application
Parametric modules create both flexibility and structural efficiency.
Each object was designed with parametric logic to ensure optimal deposition paths and minimal waste. The modular geometries encourage varied configurations while maintaining mechanical integrity across scales.
impact
Proof that scalability and sustainability can coexist in additive design.
This collection demonstrates how LFAM can enable mass customization without mass production, reinforcing the role of design in sustainable manufacturing systems.

learnings + next steps
Geometry, not material, is the key to lightweight strength.
Though durable, the printed monolithic structures were heavy; future designs will employ optimized structures and path planning to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness.
