# 3D-Printed Smart Ovens The Pyra Oven Can Be Controlled Using a Companion App By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-07-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyra References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/project-pyra-3d-printed-smart-oven/38536/) & [studiofathom](http://studiofathom.com/projectpyra/) The Pyra is a smart oven that was constructed using [3D-printing techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizzawrmr). While 3D-printing has been used to create all kinds of things, its use to create a working kitchen appliance represents whole new territory. Developed by Oakland-based company Fathom, the Pyra is connected to the cloud via WiFi and can be controlled using a [companion app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooni-koda-2). The oven doesn't feature any physical button. Meanwhile, the app is highly customizable and allows users to adjust control options. The Pyra smart oven is a great example of how design and technology can be leveraged in unconventional ways to create fantastic results. As Fathom's director of research Carlo Quinonez says, this design will "inspire designers and engineers to challenge the way they think about product design and manufacturing." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3d-printed Appliances:** The use of 3D-printing technology to create innovative and functional kitchen appliances. - **Smart Kitchen Devices:** The integration of smart capabilities and connectivity in kitchen appliances. - **Customizable Control Apps:** The development of companion apps that offer customizable control options for appliances. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance Manufacturing:** The home appliance manufacturing industry can explore the potential of 3D-printing technology to create unique and customizable products. - **Technology and Iot:** The technology and IoT industry can capitalize on the demand for smart and interconnected kitchen devices. - **App Development and Design:** The app development and design industry can create user-friendly companion apps for controlling and customizing smart appliances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Light-Powered Countertop Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-countertop-oven.md) - [Cloud-Connected Industrial Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrial-oven.md) - [Temperature-Tracking Smart Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuwave-todd-english-iq360.md) - [Modern All-In-One Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-kitchen-appliances.md) - [Intelligent AI-Based Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haier.md) - [Stovetop-Friendly Oven Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-oven-concept.md) - [Next-Gen Electric Pizza Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-pizza-oven.md) - [Precision Cooking Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agari.md) - [AI Nutritionist Countertop Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neoma-ai-countertop-oven.md)
