3D printing phenom Janne Kyttanen created a full-sized, fully-functional lounge sofa made of copper and chrome by 3D printing it. The Sofa So Good is the largest, most complex product to be made in a single build using a 3D Systems ProX 950 super wide 3D printing system, which 3D printed 6,000 layers that are only 0.0099 centimeters thick.
Measuring 150 x 75 x 55 centimeters, the lightweight sofa weighs just 2.5 kilos (approx. 5.5 pounds) and was made using just 2.5 liters of material.
Despite its lightness, the sofa’s diamond geometry makes for a strong structure that can actually support a person up to 100 kilos (220 pounds).
