Hi, my name is Sonja and I started my internship here at Fluid Forms a few days ago. For the next few weeks I will  support the – by the way, great – team when it comes to communication matters, such as press releases, blogs and stuff like that. I’m all excited about this task!

What was it about Fluid Forms that pulled me in? Having studied English and attended a course of graphic design, I’m enthusiastic about international marketing, innovative companies and the world of design in general. Being not be an ass when it comes to the technical aspect of product development, I find the concept of Fluid Forms all the more intriguing: hey, what could be better than to put on the role of a genius like Michelangelo or Rodin and create unique artistic objects on your own – without no technical knowledge whatsoever? I, for myself, could well imagine also designing my whole wardrobe in the future (including shoes, bags and jewelry, of course!). What about this suggestion, colleagues??

Well, for now I will do some research on the developments in Rapid Manufacturing, 3D Printing and Mass Customization to keep everybody informed during the next few weeks. And grab myself one of these delicious apples out of the stylish FLUID EARTH BOWL right next to me….

CASSIUS – Enter the Ring for the virtual design interface
CASSIUS – Ring frei für die virtuelle Designschnittstelle

Now its time to don your virtual boxing gloves and jump in the ring with CASSIUS. Starting on Friday 5. September 2008 the first CASSIUS lamps are waiting to be beaten into shape. What has been possible with the real sparing partner is now available online. The mouse dictates where the lamp should be formed by the virtual gloves. After a successful match with the help of our 3D-Printer, you can reward yourself with a truly unique trophy, the CASSIUS lamp.

Nun heißt es auch virtuell die Boxhandschuhe überstreifen und gegen CASSIUS in den Ring steigen: Ab Freitag, den 5. September 2008, können unter www.fluidforms.eu/cassius die ersten CASSIUS Lampen erboxt werden. Was bereits erfolgreich mit dem echten Sparringspartner funktionierte, haben wir nun auch online umgesetzt: Per Mausklick versetzen Boxhandschuhe CASSIUS solange Schläge, bis man ihn in Form gebracht hat. Unsere 3D-Drucker machen aus CASSIUS eine formschöne Trophäe, die als edler Leuchtkörper in Ihrem Heim für eine angenehme Atmosphäre sorgt.
