Core77 Weekly Roundup (1-27-25 to 1-31-25)

Here's what we looked at this week:

LMD: A new, less wasteful metal 3D printing technique by Meltio.

A manufacturing gamechanger: Danish company Adapa has developed adaptive molds, eliminating the need for permanent tooling.

ThermoTraks: A smart, low-tech design for a garage door track that offers a better seal.

A nifty, terrifying design for a folding axe.

The Pulli Bin rethinks the UX of the kitchen garbage can.

The Esch 22 Space Station, by architecture firm 2001 TBSI, is a trailer with an inflatable 6-person sleeping dome.

The Avvenire Combat is an electric motorcycle that can be converted into a snowmobile.

FlyFrames are eyewear with no arms (temples), which I believe will introduce a UX hassle.

The Hino Profia: A tractor trailer with four-wheel steering!

Better UX design for a helmet with a protective facemask.

The perfect gift for Cobra Commander: A wristwatch with a mechanical snake that circumnavigates the dial.

A Carabiner Battery. (Surely at some point, we will run out of objects that can feature carabiners.)

UX design details: The evolution of this bit holder, and its remaining flaw.

The CNC Pro is a portable mill for concrete and stone applications.

Industrial design firm Goodwin Hartshorn designs an anti-splash urinal.

Better UX for barbecue grills: Monument Grills' burner knobs indicate temperature using color.

A much smarter, pivoting design for wheelbarrow handles.

Industrial design case study: Sprout streamlines outdoor decorative lighting.
