Introduction簡介

Industrial Geometry

工業幾何

This is a project that works with a 25-year-old OEM factory in Taiwan. This local factory fabricates the machine's shell and structure for living. The concept is based on what they have already been doing and uses the material they are familiar with. It was inspired by large material dispensers. The hopper has an ergonomic slanted design, which makes reaching for a pen effortless. 這是一個與台灣一家擁有 25 年經驗的 OEM 工廠合作的專案。這間在地工廠長期製作機器的外殼與結構，也將這些製造能力延伸到日常生活之中。作品的概念建立在工廠既有的製作方式與熟悉的材料之上，並受到大型材料分配器的啟發。Hopper 採用符合人體工學的傾斜設計，讓拿取筆的動作更加自然。

Process製程

Sheet Metal Manufacturing

金屬板材製造

A project working with a 25-year OEM factory based in Taiwan. The factory is skilled at laser cutting, metal sheet folding, and welding, allowing for the creation of precise slots with minimal bending to form a container. With a range of colors from galvanized steel sheet to powder coating, the factory can provide a variety of options, and Erco Lai engaged into the process closely. Furthermore, they are able to produce complex geometries and shapes with their laser cutting technology, providing a level of precision that is difficult to match with any other production method. 這是一個與台灣一家擁有 25 年經驗的 OEM 工廠合作的專案。工廠擅長雷射切割、金屬板材折彎與焊接，能夠透過精確的開槽與最少量的折彎形成容器結構。從鍍鋅鋼板到粉體塗裝，工廠也能提供不同的表面與色彩選擇，Erco Lai 則深入參與整個製作過程。此外，他們也能透過雷射切割技術製作複雜的幾何與形狀，提供其他生產方式難以達到的精確度。

With TPCreative

與 TPCreative 合作

The Electrical Transformers Reusing Project, from container to container, strived to work with TPCreative together to revalue retired/obsolete components from the power grid system. As the first step, Erco Lai decided to give the painted electrical transformers new lives. 「The Electrical Transformers Reusing Project」以「container to container」為概念，與 TPCreative 合作，重新賦予電力系統中退役或淘汰元件的價值。作為第一步，Erco Lai 決定讓已經上漆的電力變壓器重新獲得新的生命。
