Little Miss Twin - 2017

Plastics have been used as the most common materials in almost all industries. Despite the low level of eco-friendliness, the polymeric family has been contributing to the major economy of every nation. In the design and construction industry, plastics are very beneficial, applied diversely across the range of different types of utilization due to their flexibility in moulding, forming objects, their low melting point, tensile and flexural strengths and affordable costs.
The chosen plastics type is polypropylene (PP) because it is flexible and ductile. Moreover, components made from PP have clean look after laser cutting. Low cost is another point of this material.

With Hololens, every complicated form and design pattern are constructed and applied quicker. The twins of models are human-shaped objects used as fashionable mannequins. There are three sizes of circular polypropylene components. The first twin has a mimicking human body look, composited with a random pattern and the other twin’s shape is an abstract version of the first one with some cut-off body parts and design patterns. Normally, the second twin sounds tougher to be built but it actually took the same modelling time as the first twin. The technology has equalled and simplified the challenging level of the traditional building process. Form and pattern can be efficiently done at the same time.
