Projects

Product Possibility of Form Generation Tools for Bamboo Craft

This shape generation tool aims towards the modernization of bamboo, where bamboo strips are used as an industrial material. Bamboo strips have been a traditional material for weaving baskets and many more different kinds of lifestyle accessories. IDC Bambu Studio is also putting forth its efforts to develop many mass-manufacturing tools, product manuals, and workshops for working with bamboo strips and the system connected with it.

During the time duration of my project 2, we decided to make the shape generation tool specifically for jewellery application because of its need in the system.

These tools follow A.G. Rao sir’s philosophy of "Product Specific Tools for Bamboo Craft". They also provide opportunities for the further design and development of some tools, which could prove to be game changers in both craft and industrial product design.
