3D-Printed Cups

The Bholdable Tumbler by Bhold Design Keeps Drinks Hot and Fingers Cool

— November 12, 2014 — Art & Design
Although one of the benefits of drinking a hot cup of coffee, cocoa or other steaming beverage is getting warm from the inside out, this 3D-printed cup addresses one of the drawbacks from such beverages as well. People can easily burn their fingers if it is too hot, which is an annoyance that this 3D-printed cup avoids.

Made out of ceramic, the 3D-printed cup was created by Bhold Design. It boasts three perforations that act as ventilation holes to ensure that the surface isn't too hot when held. Dubbed the Bholdable Tumbler, it solves a common problem in a chic way. Since each 3D-printed cup holds about 1.5 ounces of liquid, it is perfect for a shot of espresso.
