Design a product or a critical component that leverages the unique capabilities of Additive Manufacturing to solve a need that traditional manufacturing cannot, using AM as a strategic driver of innovation in form, function, or user value.

To explore diverse ideas while gaining deep expertise, we split into two subgroups, allowing us to generate a range of perspectives before converging on one concept to develop in depth.

Our subgroup took inspiration from FDM - fast, layered, and occasionally a bit stringy.
Let’s just say the process wasn’t always Instagram-ready… but hey, that’s how the magic (and the mess) happens!

It began with a simple question: what if the material itself could do more than just hold form? By using SLS-printed nylon- naturally porous and water-absorbent - we created a humidifier that doesn’t just contain water, but interacts with it. Its lattice structure, impossible to mold conventionally, allows air and moisture to flow more freely while dispersing heat with ease.
Gyroflow isn’t just a product of design - it’s a product of process, where additive manufacturing shapes both the idea and the outcome.
