“Hang Pod”




In this research project, we focused on utilizing additive manufacturing technology to create a portable, lightweight hammock that is both durable and comfortable. Our team selected TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), nylon ripstop, and nylon threading as the primary materials for the hammock. Through the manipulation of various infills, patterns, and densities, we investigated the optimal solution for a hammock that would be suitable for a variety of outdoor activities.
