The Twist
Thermal Analysis and Form Optimization of 3D-Printed Clay
Shaping Thermal Enclosure in Mug Design
The project focuses on designing a 3D-printed clay mug that passively maintains liquids cold with minimal material use. The mug serves here as a small-scale analogy of a building enclosure: a wall with given insulation and heat capacity properties that wraps around a volume of fluid (in this case, water) and protects it from the outside conditions.
