Material Experiments
After hundreds of experiments, the new bio-material is designed using strong and moldable sheets, the material shown in the video is after casting a flat sheet. Using a rigorous drying process, custom biomaterial molds combine press-molding techniques inspired by paper pulp processes, drying methods adapted from ceramics, and 3D-printed structures designed in SolidWorks and informed by hand sketching. What began as a series of failures ultimately resulted in stronger, more resilient material systems.
