The Titanium-Tawa Table is a multi-leveled lounge table made from hand crafted New Zealand Tawa wood and 3D printed titanium. The piece consists of three separate smaller tables, each with just one leg, supported by a titanium frame which connects the tables at necessary points to make it structurally sound. Each smaller table would not stand without the titanium frame that supports them – a nod toward a future in which craft industries and additive manufacturing may support each other, rather than compete.

钛-塔瓦桌是一个多层次的休息桌，由手工制作的新西兰塔瓦木材和3D打印钛。这件作品由三个独立的较小的桌子组成，每一个只有一条腿，由一个钛框架支撑，在必要的点将桌子连接起来，以使它在结构上合理。每一张较小的桌子都离不开支撑它们的钛框架-这是对手工业和添加剂制造业相互支持、而不是竞争的未来的一种点头。

For the table to be constructed, the wooden components are crafted by traditional wood worker Nigel Cotterill, then 3D scanned and converted into digital files. Those files are used to design a digital 3D model of the titanium frame and connectors. Those models are then 3D printed and fixed to the wooden components to complete the piece.

对于要构造的表格，木制部件由传统的木材工人NigelCotterill制作，然后进行3D扫描并转换为数字文件。这些文件用于设计钛框架和连接器的数字3D模型。然后将这些模型印刷并固定到木制部件上,以完成该部件。

The Titanium-Tawa Table is a part of the Unknown series; a project exploring potential relationships between hand craft and additive manufacturing. The Titanium-Tawa Table is a challenge to the process by which furniture is crafted today. In the very near future, computers will be much better at engineering than we are, but they still won’t be able to impart that ‘human touch’; that touch which allows us to truly fall in love with an object.

钛-塔瓦表是未知系列的一部分，这是一个探索手工工艺和添加剂制造之间潜在关系的项目。钛-塔瓦表是对今天家具制作工艺的挑战。在不久的将来，计算机在工程方面会比我们好得多，但他们仍然不能传授‘人的触觉’，这种接触使我们能够真正地爱上一个物体。
