The ThermoCore Kettle combines minimalist aesthetics with cutting-edge material engineering. It features a sleek, conical stainless-steel body paired with a deep red thermo-insulated lid and an ergonomically designed handle. The kettle is designed for stovetop or induction use, and its components are modular for ease of assembly and repair.

RESULTS

Design Features

• Conical form with sharp spout for directed pouring • Integrated circular handle on the lid for safe removal • Flat-bottom surface optimized for induction heating • Metallic finish for heat absorption and stylish presentation • Handle remains cool to touch

Materials

Body AlloyX-17: A nickel-titanium alloy with high thermal retention and corrosion resistance. Lightweight yet durable, and not currently used in mainstream kettles. | Lid BST ThermoResin: A bio-synthetic thermoplastic with excellent heat resistance and insulation properties. Unused in current markets but tested in aerospace housings. | Handle Hollowed aluminum frame coated with CeramiCool™ grip layer for insulation and lightweight durability.

to conclude
The ThermoCore Kettle is a bold departure from traditional kettles, focusing on material innovation and sculptural simplicity. It showcases how emerging materials like AlloyX-17 and BST ThermoResin can create superior user experiences while offering manufacturers a new market segment for premium, heat-efficient appliances. This design proves viable for production, aesthetic appeal, and cost-effectiveness in the high-end kitchenware industry. To support rapid prototyping and small-batch customization, several components, including the lid, ring handle, and handle frame can be produced using advanced 3D printing techniques such as SLA, FDM, MJF, and DMLS. These methods allow faster iteration, reduced tooling costs, and complex geometries that would be difficult or expensive with traditional methods. However, 3D printing also comes with trade-offs such as longer build times for large parts, higher per-unit costs at scale, and the need for post-processing to achieve consumer-ready finishes. This cost and process estimation serves as a pre-production roadmap. If the project is pursued, further steps will include functional prototyping, thermal stress testing, user feedback studies, and eventual transition to scalable production methods such as injection molding and deep drawing.
