锡镴遇上陶瓷：Zinnterlace 的创作过程
Pewter Meets Ceramics: The Creative Process of Zinnterlace
在艺术表达和可持续材料研究领域，Zinnterlace 项目是一项开创性的努力。这个创新项目结合了锡和陶瓷等传统材料，突破了通过数字制造可以实现的界限。
In the realm of artistic expression and sustainable material research, the Zinnterlace project stands out as a pioneering endeavor. This innovative project combines the traditional materials of pewter and ceramics, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved through digital fabrication.
设计阶段：从概念到定制
DESIGN PHASE: FROM CONCEPT TO CUSTOMIZATION
Zinnterlace 项目始于对材料的深入探索，并使用 LUTUM5-3D 粘土打印机进行了一系列实验。目标是了解这些材料可以实现的最大倾斜度和其他形状限制因素。该设计基于两个 Voronoi 图案，它们沿着两条不同的双曲线挤压。这种复杂的形式通过 Rhino-Grasshopper 中的参数化 3D 结构栩栩如生，允许自定义和扩展。
The Zinnterlace project commenced with an in-depth exploration of materials and a series of experiments using the LUTUM5-3D clay printer. The goal was to understand the maximum inclinations and other form-limiting factors that could be achieved with the materials.The design is based on two Voronoi patterns, which are extruded along two distinct double-curved curves. This complex form is brought to life through parametric 3D construction in Rhino–Grasshopper, allowing for customization and extension.
由此产生的结构用途广泛，能够用作可定制的立面，可以重新用作珊瑚礁基地，强调可持续性和适应性。
The resulting structure is versatile and capable of serving as a customizable facade that can be repurposed as a coral reef base, emphasizing sustainability and adaptability.
生产过程：打造混合结构
PRODUCTION PROCESS: CRAFTING THE HYBRID STRUCTURE
Zinnterlace 项目的生产过程与其设计一样复杂。最初，为连接元件制作了可重复使用的表格。这些形式有助于用锡铸造连接器，这些连接器被小心地与粘土分离。然后逐层制作主要粘土成分，以确保精度和一致性。干燥后，这些组件在高温下烧制以使其凝固，从而确保耐用性和强度。
The production process of the Zinnterlace project is as intricate as its design. Initially, reusable forms for the connecting elements were produced. These forms facilitated the casting of the connectors with tin, which were carefully separated from the clay. The main clay components were then crafted layer by layer, ensuring precision and consistency. After drying, these components were fired at high temperatures to solidify them, ensuring durability and strength.
为了实现引人注目的视觉对比，锡合金连接元件被牢固地固定在光滑的黑色 MDF 板上。然后，印刷的粘土元素在锡制部件之间精心对齐，创造出和谐的材料混合，展示了锡制的坚固性和陶瓷的精致艺术性。
To achieve a striking visual contrast, the pewter connecting elements were securely attached to a sleek black MDF board. The printed clay elements were then meticulously aligned between the pewter parts, creating a harmonious blend of materials that showcased both the robustness of the pewter and the delicate artistry of ceramics.
