About Project

This white SLA resin prototype explores a fruit-inspired form for a tabletop ornament or a small night-light shade. Curved cutouts wrap around the hollow body, allowing light from a proposed internal LED module to escape through the sides and base. The cavity could also be explored for a removable fragrance pad or diffuser stone.

Challenge

Broad curves, narrow slots, and delicate leaf tips give this hollow shell its fruit-like silhouette. The challenge was to keep the openings crisp and the leaf roots intact while placing supports where they could be removed without damaging the visible surfaces.

Solution

  • Step 1: Recommend an SLA resin and finish based on the client’s budget, display requirements, and handling needs. Review fragile areas before printing.
  • Step 2: Check the shell thickness, leaf roots, and narrow bridges between cutouts. Preserve the open silhouette while reinforcing vulnerable transitions where needed.
  • Step 3: Choose a build orientation that limits support marks on the visible curves and keeps support contacts away from delicate cutout edges.
  • Step 4: Print the shell using SLA. Wash the exterior and cavity through the available openings, then dry the part thoroughly.
  • Step 5: Remove supports carefully, especially around the leaf tips and narrow cutout edges. Complete post-curing according to the resin’s requirements.
  • Step 6: Sand accessible support marks and inspect the opening edges, leaf roots, and stability on a flat surface.
