Technology & Products
Key Products
1) High-end VMD and brand store displays, including flagship store and shop-window installations. 2) Festival and spatial installations and eco-friendly functional art furniture, such as the 'Rap-it-to' inflatable sculpture, a rabbit-shaped DJ booth table, and speaker stands for RAPBEAT 2026. 3) Precision 3D part design and industrial or craft prototyping, such as mounting parts rated for loads over 60 kg and precision 3D molds for a traditional paper-pulp craft artist. 4) Eco Mineral Cast, a natural mineral-based casting material developed as an FRP substitute for sculptures.
Technical position · AMPulse analysis
Integrated design-to-production workflow with no outsourcing of fabrication. Load and tolerance engineering is done for printed structural parts. Through mix-ratio testing, the company optimized Eco Mineral Cast to bring its cost close to FRP and reduce its weight. No independent test data or quantified comparisons have been published.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Handles design planning through fabrication in-house with large-format 3D printing, which speeds communication and turnaround for short-deadline retail display (VMD) projects at reasonable cost. It also replaces toxic, flammable fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) with a non-toxic, flame-retardant mineral-based casting material.
How They Differentiate
Unlike most VMD vendors, which split design and fabrication and outsource production, Public Objet does both in-house. It also offers a non-toxic, flame-retardant mineral-based casting alternative to industry-standard FRP.
