Smart Connector System and Special 3D Printed Connectors Enable the Development of Versatile Furniture Pieces

In a carpentry or 3D printing facility, furniture can be altered without being totally made from scratch; however, most desktop 3D printers lack the build space needed to manufacture a kitchen table. Nevertheless, you can alter your furniture without creating a completely new piece by using connectors.

Build shelves and other furniture, such as tables or seats, using a printable smart connector system. To make use of the promise that technologies for rapid manufacturing, such as 3D printing, offer. The user should have as much freedom as possible to select the optimal size, colour, and material, as well as to quickly expand the system by printing additional connectors. A connector system should also be created so that bespoke furniture can be assembled without the use of tools.

The concept was that a web application would make it simple to alter the furnishings. The user can prebuild the shelf inside the application and specify the boards’ length, breadth, and thickness. The length, width, and thickness of the connectors are adjusted based on these measurements to provide the desired stability, and the necessary number of connectors is computed. When the process of customisation is complete, a ready-to-manufacture.

With the flexibility of 3D printed connections, you can design one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture that sit at odd angles, link together, or even make a table out of four chairs and a flat surface, which is ideal for tiny areas. To turn random pieces of wood or old furniture parts into new furnishings, simply tighten these connectors with a screwdriver. The remarkable additive technologies of 3D printing and others are revolutionising how we construct and create goods. Other cutting-edge production methods are also developing in terms of speed. The use of 3D printing in the design and development process really speeds things up and helps us provide innovative solutions to you sooner even though we are now unable to fully 3D print a connector.
