Portable radio with weave resin

It is a compact portable AM/FM radio that combines unique 3D printing with traditional radio functions.

There are many types of moldings that take advantage of the manufacturing methods, such as speaker grills made of resin stacked to weave and handles that are heated and bent.

You can use AA batteries as the power supply, so you can enjoy it anywhere you like without worrying about cords. You can place it on your desk, in a corner of the shelf, on the kitchen or at the workshop, or hook the handle on the top of the main unit on a hook. You can easily enjoy the radio regardless of where you put it.

Even when I'm not listening to the radio, I valued the appearance that makes me want to keep it in a familiar place.


Details born from the FFF method

Tilde's "knitting" is a technique that creates a three-dimensional and soft expression by stacking resin like weaving. ~ PortableRadio adopted this structure for speaker grills. The unique facial expressions due to the overlapping of resin and the gaps for the sound to pass through are created with a single model.

The handle on the top of the main unit is made by applying heat to the 3D printed resin parts and bent them. In the FFF method, the direction of modeling is important for parts such as handles that require a force because the strength is different depending on the lamination direction. By bending it in a direction where it is easy to secure strength, we create the necessary shapes while making up for the weak points of the FFF method.

In addition, we use our own "one-stroke G-CODE font" for the characters on the main unit. A 3D printer is a machine that creates a shape by controlling the movement of the nozzles that push the resin. The mechanism is also applied to the expression of characters, and the characters are drawn using the trajectory of the nozzle.


Expressions that change with color and material

We have a variety of 3 solid colors, 2 clear colors, and 5 colors.

Dark Yellow, WarmGray, and Red solid colors have a finish that stands out with three-dimensional shapes that are stacked like weaving resin.

Clear/Yellow and CLEAR/BLUE clear models are made of PETG resin with excellent transparency. The color parts and electronic parts inside have a transparent finish with a unique atmosphere created by stacking resin.

Even with the same type of radio, the expression changes greatly depending on the color and material. You can choose according to the location and preferences you want.


Making electrical appliances under one roof

~ PortableRadio is the first electrical appliance that Shinkogeki has worked on.

For a long time, 3D printers tended to be seen as machines for making prototypes. However, we have taken it seriously as one of the means of manufacturing, not just prototypes.

One of our goals, however, is to make our own electrical appliances from scratch.

In addition to applying the techniques unique to 3D printing to the modeling of the main unit, the internal electronic board is also designed with original design. We have repeatedly considered how to place the electronic components necessary for radio in a limited space, along with the shape and assembly method of the exterior.

From exterior modeling to electronic board design and assembly. In a small workshop, we consistently create electrical appliances under one roof to make crafts.
