Human Hand Made Up of Tree Supports 3D Printing Industry Award 2024

This trophy is a celebration of the seamless integration between human ingenuity and the advanced capabilities of additive manufacturing. The design features a human hand, symbolizing creativity and progress, with forearms Based on theme from Tree support structures. These lattice-like supports highlight the structural elegance and geometric complexity achievable only through modern 3D printing techniques.

Resting in the palm of the hand is a geometric lattice sphere, an intricate form that exemplifies the precision and innovation of additive manufacturing. The sphere and the hand are designed as separate components, allowing for efficient printing using different materials or finishes and easy assembly. This modularity showcases the versatility of 3D printing while emphasizing its industrial applications.

The entire design was crafted in Fusion 360, leveraging its powerful parametric modeling capabilities to achieve both artistic and technical excellence. Every detail adheres precisely to the specifications provided by the competition organizers, including dimensions, material constraints, and design features, ensuring compliance with all stated requirements. This trophy stands as a symbol of the limitless potential of additive manufacturing, combining innovation, industrialization, and human craftsmanship in a truly unique way.
