3D Printed Lamp

In this project, I designed and fabricated a fully custom 3D-printed lamp, drawing inspiration from the intricate craftsmanship of traditional Chinese wooden lanterns. I engineered precise snap-fit joints to achieve tight tolerances, ensuring a seamless and secure assembly without the need for adhesives or fasteners. The design also integrated electronics, allowing for smooth dimming control via a switch, enhancing both functionality and user experience.

Beyond 3D printing, I incorporated a handcrafted wooden base to house the electronic components, demonstrating a fusion of modern additive manufacturing techniques with traditional woodworking craftsmanship. Throughout this project, I refined my skills in CAD modeling, tolerance analysis, and interdisciplinary problem-solving, balancing aesthetic considerations with mechanical and electrical constraints. This experience strengthened my ability to develop elegant, functional designs while integrating multiple engineering disciplines—valuable skills for future product development and prototyping projects.
