R & D

Following up with our earlier experiment on Arduino robot arm, our old friend gifted us a bigger, more sophisticated and capable robot arm kit to play with. In our spare time, we took about a week to assemble the kit, and another week to program and initialize the stepper motor, servos, and limit switches. It […]

Sustainability has been one of our studio’s top priority since its establishment in 2014. Since we started experimenting with 3D printing early on, the amount of failed 3D prints have been piling up higher and higher. In an attempt to recycle the plastics, we invested in a system from Felfil that could help us recycle […]

Before CNY last year, our studio artist completed writing a piece of Chinese calligraphy art with 100 different interpretations of the character 福 (blessing) in seal script (百福圖). This year, instead of writing out the hundred letters again, he designed and drew 100 Blessed Sleeping Tigers (躺平福虎)! For this mini art project, we collaborated with […]

Christmas is our studio’s favourite holiday season. When the studio was first established, we challenged ourselves to craft a different Christmas tree every year. The crafted Christmas tree should follow the studio’s principles of being functional, sustainable, and delightful. We had put down this annual tradition for a few years but decided to pick it […]

After knowing about the Pulp It project from IG, we quickly got in touch with one of the few local paper workshops to experiment with making our first paper pulp container. The project and the molds’ 3D drawings were generously shared by the creator on wikifactory. It took about a week for us to finish […]

An experienced CNC machinist/entrepreneur who is also an old friend of ours gifted us an arduino kit to play with. He has been designing and crafting his own robot arm as a hobby for many years in his factory in Mainland China. He directed us to many online resources and guided us into making a […]

We met Plastic Wood Studio (塑人木工場) on IG, they’re one of the few people we know locally who tried to recycle plastic by following Precious Plastics guidelines. We knew about Precious Plastics when their first hippy online video went viral a few years back, but unfortunately our studio didn’t have the space nor expertise to […]

Our studio’s next door neighbour has been doing work to serve the yacht industry for over 30 years and it was just until recently that we found out they occasionally craft beautiful scaled boat models as a hobby! After talking to the very friendly owner, we decided to collaborate with them on a small digital […]

We experimented with silkscreen printing after getting less than satisfactory result with the linoleum stamps. […]

We experimented with stamp making by CNCing our logo on linoleum (i.e. linocut). The result was satisfactory, it’s an area we shall explore further in the future. […]

We attempted and successfully dyed eggs in red using vinegar and red powder (花紅粉) bought from Chinese medicine shop. We also CNC-ed some simple cork egg stands to compliment the beautifully dyed red eggs. […]
