作为领先的工业设计品牌和独特的当地中国企业，赢得了四大设计奖，LKK帮助许多财富全球500家公司从各行业完成综合创新设计。Tiertime Up Box是由工业设计机构LKK设计的第一台国内桌面3D打印机，为时尚外观和实用方便，性能方便，推动了国产3D印刷行业的设计标准，以实现新的高度，引领新的时尚三维印刷场专业设计的影响。
作为工业设计领域的领导者，LKK拥有丰富的硬件设计经验，为其在专业领域的医疗设备，智能家居和其他特殊设备设计方面享有盛誉。但这是LKK第一次设计3D打印机。为此，LKK专门建立了顶级设计团队，包括产品战略单元和设计师单位，用于TiVerime Up Box，其产品设计期限超过2个月。
在提出框的早期设计阶段，产品战略团队与Tiertime密切沟通，对核心用户进行了大量的调查。结果表明，大多数国产3D打印机和外地装配部件太复杂，用户将更加集中在最终印刷品上，而不是关于3D打印机的好奇。基于调查，团队确定了集成机器的整体设计方向 - 简化了超复杂和参数化的操作，可以在方便舒适的体验方面提供家用产品，供应3D印刷爱好者。
Desiger团队通过改进每个细节来实现这种用户体验优化。为了达到预期的设计效果，设计师团队中的10种技术人员接一个地突破了一个接一个地挑战，并从模型转换，材料板安装到张开的方式和天使制作了极其详细的人机考虑。盒子制作不可能的可能！
设计的第一个挑战是用户雄厚ce at appearance level. Any 3D printer will inevitable squeeze out some filamentary material at the printer nozzle, which may affect the appearance to some degree. With several discussions, the design team finally found the solution—placing a fluorescent UP BOX style decoration strip at the front of the printing platform. Thus, users will pay attention to the lighted UP BOX instead of the nozzle in the rear. Moreover, the printing progress can be displayed when the UP BOX logo is lighted, which converts the disadvantage that other 3D printers cannot overcome into the advantage of UP BOX and thus optimizes the user experience.
第二个困难是硬件和外观之间的协调。“我们研究了Up Box的初始原型，这是一个很难进入桌面产品的大型方框。为了从现有的打印机脱颖而出，所有边缘和角落都应包裹，这将进一步提高其尺寸。因此，我们需要准确控制整个设计过程中的大小，“LKK的设计师张志刚说。
The design team boldly set the material plate which is an external part for other common 3D printers inside the frame of UP BOX. Dig a hole on the external box of the machine to allow the internal material line to run outside, and then we can load the material by open the external cover. This design effectively reduces the size of the machine and provides convenience for users to change material. As Zhang Zhihang recalls, the design team conducted more than 20 experiments on the feeding scene.
Furthermore, in order to achieve perfect design of UP BOX, LKK was extremely conscientious on each detail and overcame the problems one after another. For instance, the design team even repeatedly considered the trivial matters such as the number, method and angle of door.
对于门的打开和关闭角度，设计团队编制了7个计划，分别与工程师讨论的计划和可行性在实际使用场景中验证。尝试了不同类型的书桌，并考虑了许多诸如用户性别的细节，以便消除每个缺点。例如，如果门向下敞开，它将悬挂在打开和关闭过程中的空气中，因此被破坏;一些角度可能占据太大的空间，这对采取东西不方便;一些角度可能导致不合适的结构轴承，从而损坏用户倾斜的用户;有些角度不方便。因此，确定了上箱的电流开启设计。
Zhu Peiheng, Vice General Manager of LKK states: “to make an exquisite appearance for a product is the basic requirement for a designer. The design of UP BOX not only achieved the basic industrial design, but also reached the product-level design that optimized the overall experience of users. In the whole design process of UP BOX, our engineers kept close communication with the designers and repeatedly simulated the user operation and thinking in order to make UP BOX the best among the existing desktop 3D printers, build the hot product for Tiertime which may stand out from the numerous competitive products.”
Tiertime UP BOX series started the design trend of domestic 3D printers. At present, more and more 3D printer manufacturers begin to pay attention to the industrial design of machines. LKK has received the design entrustment from several domestic 3D printer manufactures.
朱Peiheng持有认为Tiertime 3 d革命制度党nter also provides a lot of conveniences for LKK. In the design of other products, the 3D printer can help the design team rapidly present the works in the proofing stage and help the designers more intuitively understand the modeling form and design works.
“The Imperial Palace gift series were printed by the Tiertime UP Plus 2 in the design process. The 3D printer is mainly used for the verification of appearance, size and feeling in design field, which is a reversed process of previous designs. In the past, modeling is conducted first and then processed in plant; but now the model can be firstly printed with 3D printer, then artificially polished into the ideal shape and finally built the model”, said Zhang Zhihang.
According to the feedback of the designers from LKK who used Tiertime 3D printers, the overall performance of Tiertime printers are very good with low failure rate. UP BOX has received praise from professional designers who analyzed that UP BOX is a closed product which can ensure stable airflow and temperature and thus greatly improve the printing accuracy and effect of finished products. Zhang Zhihang has met many extreme printing scenes in the design, but UP BOX can still remain an outstanding performance.
With the development and rising of the domestic design industry, more and more innovative studios and design teams need to rapidly present their works. Fortunately, 3D printer can help designers intuitively understand the modeling shape and design works and significantly reduce the design time and costs. Such mutually beneficial application between 3D printing and design industry will inevitably become a new trend to lead the innovation spirit and design philosophy of the domestic brands onto the world stage.
