Summer－Fall ) Girls, 3D printing apparels and accessories series, collects nearly a hundred rock songs with the word "Girl" and the names of famous female rock singers. Through digital design and 3D printing technology, these elements are transformed into innovative textile structures and accessories. This project has more than 700 3D printing components of different sizes, colors, and effects combined with sports functional fabrics in various clothing techniques. Girls demonstrates the possibility of 3D printing technology as a new apparel manufacturing process, and also implied that this process might promote the formation of a new "niche market." Different from traditional Haute Couture, this "niche market" will provide craftsmen with more creative media. The existing conventional crafts which are passing away, may now through digitalization, transfer to new techniques in the future. presented at TAIPEI FASHION WEEK SS20: NOWism, Oct. 8,2019 ;&nbsp;collaborative with CHIMEI | MODEX, LINKIN FACTORY. <img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7789c59d99d9d5e2740b56510bd39e4ba8b11718c49add1d9002a71f7bc86f3a/Personal_Girls_1.jpg" data-mid="65668205" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7789c59d99d9d5e2740b56510bd39e4ba8b11718c49add1d9002a71f7bc86f3a/Personal_Girls_1.jpg" />︎ Demonstrating the advantages and challenges of 3D printing technology for fashion design through 6 apparels. <img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2bba5ca3cbe5a86c8ef59111ef8a4109ee876688f858de61908bf6cc37cfdc59/Personal_Girls_2.jpg" data-mid="65668654" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2bba5ca3cbe5a86c8ef59111ef8a4109ee876688f858de61908bf6cc37cfdc59/Personal_Girls_2.jpg" />︎ Combining with CLO 3D ( Fashion Design Software) modeling to illustrate a new type of fashion design drawings <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d42cacdf03d8da17384008a57783a5894f4a85003c1f2dca384e9f629eda0a29/Personal_Girls_3.jpg" data-mid="65669308" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d42cacdf03d8da17384008a57783a5894f4a85003c1f2dca384e9f629eda0a29/Personal_Girls_3.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd5eb264577f8da7271adb522d4940eb546ecbb5025892ea8a3223764ed61b8c/Personal_Girls_4.jpg" data-mid="65669309" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd5eb264577f8da7271adb522d4940eb546ecbb5025892ea8a3223764ed61b8c/Personal_Girls_4.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fa4fca332312567ee349cd9c895f699e78a6753bc4b8a8ed234f4926c11ca5b5/Personal_Girls_5.jpg" data-mid="65669310" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fa4fca332312567ee349cd9c895f699e78a6753bc4b8a8ed234f4926c11ca5b5/Personal_Girls_5.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a6960585caa6481783966341f2221087bec4342070b546a7446c3499cca3561/Personal_Girls_6.jpg" data-mid="65669311" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a6960585caa6481783966341f2221087bec4342070b546a7446c3499cca3561/Personal_Girls_6.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47d079e8a85943668c75d3d02b3489ad7b1b7900146594d74013b5599e3bda42/Personal_Girls_7.jpg" data-mid="65669486" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/47d079e8a85943668c75d3d02b3489ad7b1b7900146594d74013b5599e3bda42/Personal_Girls_7.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fedc6fc20aba94c65a8e88ab2f170394ef7c703471a413a17491c45343687e48/Personal_Girls_8.jpg" data-mid="65669487" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fedc6fc20aba94c65a8e88ab2f170394ef7c703471a413a17491c45343687e48/Personal_Girls_8.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d5fb5cba12421779668070a40917348b1d324fc4504c1851b2d599fcc1ddee5/Personal_Girls_9.jpg" data-mid="65669488" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d5fb5cba12421779668070a40917348b1d324fc4504c1851b2d599fcc1ddee5/Personal_Girls_9.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/55d212931af4e1d3d590d93323adb3e262d8a0a2d1e3c92db018f2043141f6f9/Personal_Girls_10.jpg" data-mid="65669489" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/55d212931af4e1d3d590d93323adb3e262d8a0a2d1e3c92db018f2043141f6f9/Personal_Girls_10.jpg" /> https://echochen.design/02-Hexapod-Interior-design Sat, 04 Apr 2020 10:43:34 +0000 ECHO CHEN design studio https://echochen.design/02-Hexapod-Interior-design # 02&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="1350" height="2000" width_o="1350" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/85c42d4501b9fa8fd60ec5d1a299ec9d457a5f27e9a3ff5d768a0824b8fbbb86/Personal_Hexapod_0.jpg" data-mid="65679975" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/85c42d4501b9fa8fd60ec5d1a299ec9d457a5f27e9a3ff5d768a0824b8fbbb86/Personal_Hexapod_0.jpg" /> ︎ Hexapod Interior Design Project Designer ( 2017. Winter－2018. Summer ) Hexapod, as its name implies, integrates subtractive and additive manufacturing techniques into the wall and bench design through the implementation of a hexagonal module. In the subtractive process, different thicknesses of black Valchromat MDF boards and birch boards were glued together and milled to varying depths through 3 and 6 axis machining methods. Doing so gave interesting wooden-patterns and delicate surfaces. As for the additive manufacturing processes, 3D printed solutions were used to address the need for small-batch custom hardware suited to the dynamics of the designed pattern. Challenged existing interior design conventions, this design evolved from the integration of material, fabrication, and computational logic. Hexapod design installation brings about a new and unique look and feel for the university space. published on “Interior” magazine #310, July 2019 ; collaborative with Taiwan Vachromat. <img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/17fe7b6a22f7c1ebc1b39f74a9c0aa6e744e93357c38f55367e91066298acc25/Personal_Hexapod_1.jpg" data-mid="65679976" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/17fe7b6a22f7c1ebc1b39f74a9c0aa6e744e93357c38f55367e91066298acc25/Personal_Hexapod_1.jpg" />︎ Checking over 30 customed components which were made of CNC/Robotic fabrication. <img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/785342ca092dcf58baf7b3b58fae357ece02fd840e5e37abc86b813904dc6b86/Personal_Hexapod_2.jpg" data-mid="65679977" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/785342ca092dcf58baf7b3b58fae357ece02fd840e5e37abc86b813904dc6b86/Personal_Hexapod_2.jpg" />︎ The diagram as a contract reference for fabricators and carpenters. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5a9f59d6f3a493097aa03e698049c718ff7b3a54094387c2cb7004a54fb5757/Personal_Hexapod_3.jpg" data-mid="65679978" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f5a9f59d6f3a493097aa03e698049c718ff7b3a54094387c2cb7004a54fb5757/Personal_Hexapod_3.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d9de23eb2358df1709d19d0066c6274274d43859590dcf28dd19cb741de687c/Personal_Hexapod_4.jpg" data-mid="65679979" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d9de23eb2358df1709d19d0066c6274274d43859590dcf28dd19cb741de687c/Personal_Hexapod_4.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e61a5604fbe58664ff4d5bde94c260414e7097f3ed912d66b710ac27f8c82e6f/Personal_Hexapod_5.jpg" data-mid="65679981" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e61a5604fbe58664ff4d5bde94c260414e7097f3ed912d66b710ac27f8c82e6f/Personal_Hexapod_5.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5de86eebd2c440c4c63ad29fe3ee7e9feb70a48fc0a8980827c9ac0bf0d3da7a/Personal_Hexapod_6.jpg" data-mid="65679982" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5de86eebd2c440c4c63ad29fe3ee7e9feb70a48fc0a8980827c9ac0bf0d3da7a/Personal_Hexapod_6.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3d464df0438513e0333fb7743b48ef8ba0beef5377a30653cade8d2f35bf3f3/Personal_Hexapod_7.jpg" data-mid="65679984" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3d464df0438513e0333fb7743b48ef8ba0beef5377a30653cade8d2f35bf3f3/Personal_Hexapod_7.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c0414945b1c1c4c49b3e7749dc7dd22c0b2897665dff7c688ea070375c9be626/Personal_Hexapod_8.jpg" data-mid="65679985" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c0414945b1c1c4c49b3e7749dc7dd22c0b2897665dff7c688ea070375c9be626/Personal_Hexapod_8.jpg" /> https://echochen.design/01-Fasciner Sat, 04 Apr 2020 11:45:45 +0000 ECHO CHEN design studio https://echochen.design/01-Fasciner # 01&nbsp; <img width="1350" height="2000" width_o="1350" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d300f93045dd51738b60d40fbd41101c05b6267f5650607c9983dedc4017a92f/Research_fasciner_0.jpg" data-mid="66037771" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d300f93045dd51738b60d40fbd41101c05b6267f5650607c9983dedc4017a92f/Research_fasciner_0.jpg" /> &nbsp;︎ FascinerProject Designer + Researcher ( 2016. Summer－Winter ) Fasciner, 2-meter x 1.5-meter x 0.3-meter large lamps, was composed of over 150 different units. The connection of each LED shading unit is accomplished through joints that have different heights, shapes, and sizes. The complexity of this joinery is required to facilitate the formation of such multi-directional curved surfaces. To address this issue, a device that can precisely control the fabrication process is required. The computationally controlled Variable Forming Machine was thus designed and built for this challenge. Through the modification of traditional manufacturing machines to accommodate parametric control, the Fasciner Lamp demonstrates how the dialogue between designers and machine can allow us to revisit a craftsman-like mode of making. as a part of Master thesis project "Plastic Formation: Exploring Material System in Digital Fabrication";&nbsp;shortlisted Industrial Design Award INDUSTART.

Summer－Fall ) Calla Noir, the decorative floor lamp at nearly 130cm tall, was designed utilizing the various control mechanisms of the 3D printing FDM process to blend the printing material and generate a surface pattern that varies through the changing of the light. Its single-layer printed lampshade expresses the coded computational movements of the machine in the pattern and finish of the printing shell. This design strategy alleviates the "problems" of FDM printed works and changes our perception of this technology from prototyping to finished product. With the help of new performance materials from Modex 3D filaments and our fabrication partners at Linkin Factory, The project demonstrates the potential for 3D printed results as the final finished product without additional post-processing. exhibited in 2018 Taiwan Int'l 3D Printing Show, Aug.29-Sept.1; won 2019 A' Design Award &amp; Competition. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/748c034567dcd308fbe927ca26ecb9d3344717888347ca6b70907f154484c7b8/Collaborative_Calla-Noir_1.jpg" data-mid="66532927" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/748c034567dcd308fbe927ca26ecb9d3344717888347ca6b70907f154484c7b8/Collaborative_Calla-Noir_1.jpg" /> ︎ 3D Printing Elementsthe ABS plastic units printed by large delta 3D printers. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6fdce53714b65009b93fc4ed10f1d1be8df6a51e80388874da9fde1ef61d5fd9/Collaborative_Calla-Noir_2.jpg" data-mid="66532928" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6fdce53714b65009b93fc4ed10f1d1be8df6a51e80388874da9fde1ef61d5fd9/Collaborative_Calla-Noir_2.jpg" /> ︎The details of DesignCombining with Lighting system&nbsp; https://echochen.design/02-Twirls Sat, 11 Apr 2020 10:48:29 +0000 ECHO CHEN design studio https://echochen.design/02-Twirls # 02&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="1350" height="2000" width_o="1350" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cba8c8efcd6f9843566abb13241b74be197c70f6ecd706f99d0daf77650852d0/Collaborative_Twirls_0.jpg" data-mid="66541434" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cba8c8efcd6f9843566abb13241b74be197c70f6ecd706f99d0daf77650852d0/Collaborative_Twirls_0.jpg" /> &nbsp;︎ TwirlsProject Designer ( 2018. Summer－Fall ) The motif of the design lighting piece ,Twirls , exemplifies this new translation process in FDM printing, expanding on "layer by layer" additive method to enable a higher degree of control to the finished surface texture and color transition by the designer. By focusing on the design process and the translation of computational data into material effect, this project experimented with the effects of seam parameterization, machine speed control, and gradient extrusion. The resulting single-layer printed lampshades are thus able to present elegant patterns and variations in texture and color under conventional backlighting. Twirls not only demonstrates the unique aesthetics of the 3D printing process, but also the potential for FDM printed results to achieve the level of finish and expression found in conventionally manufactured products today. Additionally, this achievement alludes to the chance for a new generation of designers to embrace materiality through computation and manufacturing. exhibited in 2018 Taiwan Design Expro, Aug.15-17.&nbsp; <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c00ec3f15cc064828cc8182d579f63840cfacec0254732a5d2c7583018f9c4c/Collaborative_Twirls_1.jpg" data-mid="66623108" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c00ec3f15cc064828cc8182d579f63840cfacec0254732a5d2c7583018f9c4c/Collaborative_Twirls_1.jpg" />︎ Testing the Gradient EffectCollaborating with industrial partners to building up a gradient printing system. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ef4fa3a0b19d8dc07d16def18515db344957f8ec50ce16f11dffbb25e76c142/Collaborative_Twirls_2.jpg" data-mid="66623109" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ef4fa3a0b19d8dc07d16def18515db344957f8ec50ce16f11dffbb25e76c142/Collaborative_Twirls_2.jpg" />︎Materialization of DigitalTranslating of printing parameters into material effect through the program of G-code.&nbsp; <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b3daebf20abe837f56d7deaa1eeb9ff9b3532e1f3140122ce49cc851ddba3d4/Collaborative_Twirls_3.jpg" data-mid="66623110" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4b3daebf20abe837f56d7deaa1eeb9ff9b3532e1f3140122ce49cc851ddba3d4/Collaborative_Twirls_3.jpg" />︎Demonstrating Design Process Velocity printing surface patterns on the delta printer in PING product launch. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff08e5dba6c049c851b30876dbbfa5b6d504a61949eb49ef4223c1bf2d125996/Collaborative_Twirls_4.jpg" data-mid="66623111" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff08e5dba6c049c851b30876dbbfa5b6d504a61949eb49ef4223c1bf2d125996/Collaborative_Twirls_4.jpg" /> ︎The Pattern on LampshadesTesting the lighting effect of Velocity printing surface patterns. https://echochen.design/03-Hexapod Sat, 11 Apr 2020 10:48:32 +0000 ECHO CHEN design studio https://echochen.design/03-Hexapod # 03 <img width="1350" height="2000" width_o="1350" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e9ad21d9dfd046fe265e94736dec785064e43094b1bacd9b578cedd081f3bc5/Collaborative_Hexapod_0.jpg" data-mid="66545067" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e9ad21d9dfd046fe265e94736dec785064e43094b1bacd9b578cedd081f3bc5/Collaborative_Hexapod_0.jpg" /> &nbsp;︎ HexapodInterior Decoration Project Designer ( 2017.

The proposed installation is the product of the integration of both additive and subtractive manufacturing processes. While additive manufacturing and 3D printed solutions are not commonly found in final design products, the project utilizes Modex ABS 3D printing filaments, which offer excellent post-processing potential. For the bench and wall surfaces CNC milled panels made of composite layers of the Valchromat engineered colored MDF board were selected for their smooth milling finishes and colors. The addition of color layers, patterning, and milled geometry results in the emergent expression of the subtractive design method.“Hexapod ” brings the design to a new level of maturity through the rationalization of geometry and greater consideration of materials and finish. exhibited in 2017 Taiwan Design Expro, Sept.30-Oct.15.&nbsp; <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ddb6cc09b6326d63b95c7afbff032307366e8d5f967465e7249419276718f3ba/Collaborative_Hexapod_1.jpg" data-mid="66545068" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ddb6cc09b6326d63b95c7afbff032307366e8d5f967465e7249419276718f3ba/Collaborative_Hexapod_1.jpg" /> ︎ 3D Printing Elements4 ABS plastic units can be assembled more than 10 results. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/449ef118628b49075f53de49071d3d59f5a6fd2f3029fb181efe649ea130c71e/Collaborative_Hexapod_2.jpg" data-mid="66545069" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/449ef118628b49075f53de49071d3d59f5a6fd2f3029fb181efe649ea130c71e/Collaborative_Hexapod_2.jpg" /> ︎Build the Lighting SystemIntegrating screws, fixed components, aluminum extrusions, wires into limited space of 3D printed parts.&nbsp; <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/152dc54776017dc2a65f548c823770f7c22f55b678975c88419a9f5a834cbce1/Collaborative_Hexapod_3.jpg" data-mid="66545070" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/152dc54776017dc2a65f548c823770f7c22f55b678975c88419a9f5a834cbce1/Collaborative_Hexapod_3.jpg" /> ︎ The Combination of Additive and Subtractive Methodologies Testing the lighting system of the Hexapod design on CNC milled Valchromat colored MDF. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/30e64a72cbe570e8b0eb2b164a64c9f3a1355962ceccf5016d076bf182ed3f10/Collaborative_Hexapod_4.jpg" data-mid="66545071" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/30e64a72cbe570e8b0eb2b164a64c9f3a1355962ceccf5016d076bf182ed3f10/Collaborative_Hexapod_4.jpg" /> ︎ 2017 Taiwan Design Expro Demonstrating the design prototype in “ Taiwan Design Expro: Bewin Ocean” exhibition.&nbsp; https://echochen.design/04-Dekapede Sat, 11 Apr 2020 10:48:36 +0000 ECHO CHEN design studio https://echochen.design/04-Dekapede # 04&nbsp; <img width="1350" height="2000" width_o="1350" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9e08ec4c761e37f99c5e801ad58a8e92848b9d8aa1e85b7ffce892f981334546/Collaborative_Dekapede_0.jpg" data-mid="66625140" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9e08ec4c761e37f99c5e801ad58a8e92848b9d8aa1e85b7ffce892f981334546/Collaborative_Dekapede_0.jpg" /> &nbsp;︎ Dekapede Project Designer ( 2016. Spring－Summer) Dekapede is a computationally defined wall lighting element derived from subdivided mesh geometry and 3D printed with Modex ABS 3D printing filaments demonstrating its direct to fabrication potential. The installation is the product of the “re-Inspired Contraptions” workshop series hosted by sKY_Associative in collaboration with Chimei | Modex. This special workshop event seeks to alleviate the existing barriers to this transformation in design culture, by lowering the cost of purchasing fabrication tools and sharing the necessary skills and knowledge to design with these tools in mind. With support from the Wen Long Arts Foundation, 15 students were selected from the NCKU College of Design to participate in this three-part workshop where students built their own FDM 3D printers, learn to operate and maintain them, gain technical skills in 3D modelling and parametric design tools, and be exposed to industry professionals from the fields of design and art. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e72260db02127d1e05652226ff460d6581b90c8c7aeaa43c4e126d08b1f84003/Collaborative_Dekapede_1.jpg" data-mid="66625141" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e72260db02127d1e05652226ff460d6581b90c8c7aeaa43c4e126d08b1f84003/Collaborative_Dekapede_1.jpg" /> ︎ 3D Printing Elements The limited size printing parts were printed out by the 3D printers developed from "re-Inspired Contraption". <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8eae072477102d1887ab3c59939ff79649d33c1bd42b6a3aa2558b1acad4b624/Collaborative_Dekapede_2.jpg" data-mid="66625142" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8eae072477102d1887ab3c59939ff79649d33c1bd42b6a3aa2558b1acad4b624/Collaborative_Dekapede_2.jpg" /> ︎ Post-Processing Gluing each 3D printing parts together and then sanding the surface after printing the primer. &nbsp; <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/86b49893af3df7d4d402c79337f1b0afe2f3e83435ba114bb0ac3033966fa517/Collaborative_Dekapede_3.jpg" data-mid="66625143" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/86b49893af3df7d4d402c79337f1b0afe2f3e83435ba114bb0ac3033966fa517/Collaborative_Dekapede_3.jpg" /> ︎ Spraying Primer and Chromatic Paints* <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a2bfc6639b39a87d3e36bc11d7e71ca29e666c1186198e45be45fbc94cc92fa4/Collaborative_Dekapede_4.jpg" data-mid="66625144" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a2bfc6639b39a87d3e36bc11d7e71ca29e666c1186198e45be45fbc94cc92fa4/Collaborative_Dekapede_4.jpg" /> ︎ Dekapede hangs on the NCKU Chub@coffee entrance wall *
