当有人听说3D打印时,他们会想到一种与艺术和创造力无关的尖端生产技术,但事实并非如此。为了说明技术的这一方面,我们最近采访了具有强大功能的建筑师和设计师Serena Fanara。她设计和生产许多产品线,包括家具配件,珠宝和小配件,以及照明系统和活动安排。她所有工作的核心是环境可持续性的使命。为了体现这种精神,她于2015年推出了SeFa Design by Nature品牌。
When some hear about 3D printing, they think of a cutting-edge production technique that has little to do with art and creativity, but that is not at all the case. To illustrate this side of the technology, we recently spoke with Serena Fanara, an architect and designer with a strong and versatile portfolio. She designs and produces many product lines, including furnishing accessories, jewelry and gadgets, as ell as lighting systems and arrangements for events. At the core of all her work is the mission of environmental sustainability. To exemplify this ethos, she launched the SeFa Design by Nature brand in 2015.
Fanara总部位于意大利,是3D打印潜力的早期信奉者。该技术与她的专业知识和才华相结合,使她能够比使用更多传统方法以更大的自由度和更快的时限来进行设计。
Based in Italy, Fanara was an early believer in the potential of 3D printing. The technology, when combined with her professionalism and talent, has enabled her to produce her designs with more freedom and in faster timeframes than using more traditional methods.

3dpbm:是什么让您将创造力与增材制造相结合的?
3dpbm: What was the path that led you to combine your creativity with additive manufacturing?
Serena Fanara:一切都始于我在佛罗伦萨上大学时,然后我开始创造有趣的家具产品。我在艺术方面已经非常活跃:我正在为大型活动和表演安装装置。从那时起,我认为我可以将自己的热情与学习结合起来,于是我开始生产小型家具,尤其是灯具。在这个过程中,我作为一名建筑师的培训对我有所帮助,因为我已经非常熟悉3D建模软件。
It all started when I was in university in Florence, and I started creating furniture products for fun. I was already very active artistically: I was working with large installations for events and shows. From that point, I thought that I could combine my passion with studies, and I began to produce small furnishings, especially lamps. In this process, my training as an architect helped me a lot, as I was already well acquainted with 3D modeling software.
我的设计一直以来都被植物形式所吸引和启发。我相信它们可以传递和谐,我喜欢在工作中重新想象它们。多年来,我还继续了对神经科学的研究。例如,我开始了解我的装置是如何根据我使用的颜色和形状在人们中引起不同反应的。与此相应,我开始学习色光疗法和环境疗法,这些方面常常被归类为背景,但对于我们所有人的日常健康至关重要。
I have always been attracted to and inspired by plant forms in my designs. I believe they transmit harmony, and I like to reimagine them in my work. Over the years, I have also continued my research on neuroscience. For instance, I started to understand how my installations aroused different reactions in people based on the colors and shapes I used. In line with that, I started learning chromotherapy and ambient therapy—aspects that are too often relegated to the background, but which are very important for the daily well-being of all of us.
通过我的作品,我可以通过灯具和其他创作的特殊形状释放我的创造力。使用技术,我尝试将自己的想法发挥到极致,创造出传达美丽感觉的物体。当我根据要求进行设计时,我会尝试个性化客户的体验,以便他们能够认出自己,并完全放心使用委托的物品或家具。
With my work, I can release my creativity through the particular shapes of my lamps and other creations. Using technology, I try to take my ideas to the maximum, creating objects that convey beautiful sensations. When I design on request, I try to personalize my client’s experience so that they can recognize themselves and feel completely at ease with the object or furniture they have commissioned.
3dpbm:为什么选择3D打印?它给您带来了什么好处?
3dpbm: Why did you choose 3D printing? What advantages has it brought you?
SF:我立即理解了3D打印的巨大潜力:我一直都是手工制作作品,数字制造使我能够制作非常复杂的形状,从而减少了处理时间并减少了误差。
I immediately understood the enormous potential of 3D printing: I have always created my works by hand and digital manufacturing has allowed me to produce very complex shapes, reducing processing times and margins of error.
直到大约2008年,我一直从事激光切割。然后在介绍其第一台3D打印机的过程中,我在米兰遇到了WASP。从那里开始,我开始更接近3D打印领域并关注公司。当第一台Delta4070 3D打印机问世时,我买了它。从生产的角度来看,这无疑是一个转折点,因为能够快速进行实验和纠正错误而不影响工作的可能性是提高产品质量以及创造水平的基础。通过3D打印,您可以缩短从构思到生产的时间,与传统的生产技术相比,这些都可以节省很多。对于设计师而言,有机会对自己的想法进行独立研究的机会使他们可以更加谨慎地进行设计,并提出更多种类的概念。
Until about 2008, I worked with laser cutting. Then I met WASP in Milan during the presentation of one of its first 3D printers. From there I started to get closer to the world of 3D printing and to follow the company. When the first Delta4070 3D printer came out, I bought it. It was certainly a turning point from the production point of view, because the possibility of being able to experiment and correct mistakes quickly and without affecting the work was fundamental to raising the quality of the product and, consequently, the level of creativity. 3D printing allows you to speed up the time from idea to production, all with significant savings compared to traditional production techniques. For a designer, having the opportunity to work independently on their own ideas allows them to design with greater care and come up with a greater variety of concepts.
我注意到的另一方面是,这些技术的使用使设计人员的角色更加灵活。您可以使用3D打印轻松更改产品的尺寸,形状或颜色。这允许更大程度的创造力和定制化,使每件作品都独一无二。
Another aspect that I noticed, is that the use of these technologies makes the role of the designer more flexible. You can easily change the size, shape or color of a product using 3D printing. This allows for a greater degree of creativity and customization, making every single piece a little bit unique.
