The document discusses a company's goal to develop 3D printing technology to help reduce carbon footprints. Their first project is a 3D printed desk chair called "The Zero" that can capture renewable energy to charge devices. The chair will transform waste materials into an ergonomic, zero emission office chair using kinetic and thermal energy to wirelessly charge electronics. The company aims to make sustainable products accessible worldwide using 3D printing to transform waste and distribute production globally.
2. We believe the market
conditions are perfect for
a true 3D-printing
revolution, which can
transform the way we
design, manufacture,
distribute and use goods
and materials.
3. And we aim to
develop a full range of
3D-Printed technology
to help reduce our
carbon footprint
4. Our first design project is
named The Zero, a 3D-Printed
desk chair that captures
renewable energy to charge
electronic devices
Designed in collaboration with
the Savannah College of Art
and Design (SCAD), we’re
looking to bring this to life, as
a fully 3D-Printed piece of
office technology.
5. The aim is to showcase
the potential of
technologies used to
transform waste material
into an ergonomic, zero-
carbon emission office
chair, capable of
harnessing kinetic and
thermal energy to charge
microelectronics
wirelessly.
6. 3D printing is at the centre of the product we are looking to
create; not only does this allow for transformation of waste
materials, it also allows for a new model of distribution, with
production enabled on any site with a suitable 3D-Printer
7. Using the same concepts that
made “flat-pack” furniture so
accessible and popular.
8. Our approach will be the same
with all future products,
aiming to facilitate
sustainability through newer,
smarter technology that we
can make accessible to the
largest audience possible
9. Our overall mission is to create
affordable products and
designs from 3D printing that
are incorporated into a low-
carbon lifestyle, from the tools
we use, to housing and energy
production
10. Making them accessible to
every market, particularly
developing countries facing
high increases in CO2
emissions and energy
requirements
