Designers create exquisite small boxes out of paper using 3D printers

When it comes to innovative, efficient yet low labor oriented conceptions there is one intriguing field of technology that is gradually gaining acceptance among industrial designers. We are talking about 3D printers and their varied scope of applications ranging from making bantam bikes to even robust buildings. But, this time the whole printing ambit has been diluted to fit our domestic scale with an inherently artistic essence. Japanese based small crafts company Nendo, headed by famous designer Oki Sato, has created exquisite containers by utilizing such three dimensional printers. However, the novel part in all of this is that the boxes were conceived entirely using paper material.

Aesthetically, the small containers are a visual treat with their soberly rounded shape and an impeccably glossy finish. According to the designers, the graceful bearing was achieved by the high quality function of the aforementioned 3D printer. They used the printer to appropriately cut, stack and paste the paper sheets, to form the corresponding solid facades.

However, the nigh perfect lustrous finish was achieved by the application of lacquer. In fact, the enhanced adhering quality of lacquer was instrumental in forming a cushion of curvaceousness around the paper edges, thus giving the whole shape a bulkier demeanor. Finally, the fusion of deftly cut facades and the unique finish insinuates an enchanting wood grain like outer texture.
