When Furniture Thinks About Your Pets (and You)
The Dog Hut Side Table is not just any furniture: it's the hybrid dream of every dog owner who appreciates good design. 🐕✨ This ingenious creation combines a functional side table with a cozy pet shelter, demonstrating that robotic 3D printing can transform even the most everyday objects.
"If Frank Lloyd Wright had had a golden retriever and an industrial 3D printer, this is exactly what he would have designed"
From Manufacturing Problem to Innovative Solution
The journey of this design included:
- Initial prototypes in plywood (2023) 🛠️
- Limitations in complex curved shapes
- Transition to robotic 3D printing (2025)
The technological solution enabled:
- Organic shapes impossible with traditional methods
- Intelligent structural optimization
- Reduction of material waste
Technical Tricks That Make the Difference
Details that will enchant 3D fans:
- Chimney printing without supports thanks to calculated angles
- Invisible anchoring system for internal cushions
- Rapid iterations thanks to agile prototyping
A process that could be replicated with tools like Grasshopper, Rhino or Blender, opening possibilities for independent designers.
The Future of Smart Furniture
This project points to important trends:
- Multifunctional objects for small spaces
- Customization through digital manufacturing
- Design centered on both owners and pets
The best part? Your dog will have its own furniture designed with cutting-edge technology... though it will probably end up using yours too. 🛋️
Curious note: If your pet starts looking at you with superiority while resting in its high-tech furniture, don't say we didn't warn you.
