How did the idea for Kokox come about?
The idea for Kokox (future construction concept) began in 2018 after visiting a friend.
This had bought a 3D printer and brought me a pattern.
Although I have been working in the field of design and construction for over 20 years, I was amazed at the quality of the 3D print.
So far, my opinion was, the 3D print was not yet mature for end products without post -processing.
Here I had one better instructed.
After I had extensively informed myself about quality, price and the organic plastic Pla, it was clear to me that there has been great progress in 3D pressure in the past 5 years.
I have enough ideas for new products. You should always get a product improvement or something warm.
I liked this Sustainable organic material products be manufactured.
Kokox uses 3D print so that personalized products become real.
Most of the time there are the problem for me that I like the design, but not the color or size.
With KOKOX I would like to address my customers directly and reflect their taste and preferences, and that in terms of size, color and the possibility of adding individual text.
Design freedom and the power of personalization
Kokox unleashes the design freedom from the designers' designs to the end product and offers a first insight into the future of customer -specific production.
A crucial step on our personalization trip is to deliver products that are as unique as our customers.
As a designer, we were inspired by geometries of nature, architecture and technology to create complex forms that can hardly be implemented with conventional manufacturing methods.
In this way we can take the form into account in a way that it was never possible before.
We offer our customers innovative options with which they can finally express their personality.
The 3D pressure is particularly useful because it means that it can be specifically produced as needed.
According to a study, it is one of the twelve technologies that will change the world.
In the future, only individual prototypes will be produced, but products are manufactured in series.
We invite you to accompany us on this trip.
The material of Kokox products:
All products are printed at KOKOX with 3D printers from the bioplastic (PLA).
The specialist agency "Renewant raw materials e. V." (FNR) attests to the raw material great potential for durable products.
PLA is obtained from corn starch and whey and is one of the bioplastics. It has no negative effects on the environment.
Characteristics:
- High module
- high scratch resistance
- High resistance to oils, fats and alcohol
- Certified compostability
- approved food law
- water -repellent
- flame -retardant
- Conditional weather resistance
- Temperature -resistant -10 ° to +40 °
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): PLA is heated and formed into the desired product in the melting layer process.
PLA is currently the material group with the greatest quantity potential within the bioplastics.
Polylactide (PLA) is produced through a multi -stage synthesis from corn. Corn is fermented into lactic acid and then polymerized to PLA.
Due to its physical and mechanical properties, PLA is well suited as a replacement for petrol -based thermoplastics.
The PLA is one of the most popular and important printing materials that are available for FDM-3D printer.
It is easy to process and the material is suitable for toys, household items and even pastries for Christmas.
Since PLA becomes soft from approx. 60-70 °, it is not advisable to put objects in the dishwasher or in summer.
Pla is transparent, crystalline, stiff and has a high mechanical strength. It can be processed with conventional thermoplastic procedures.
At room temperature and normal environmental conditions, PLA is unlimited.
Further applications:
- Architecture
- Volume and function models
- toys
- Household items
- Drinker
