3D Printing BioPlastics
Manhattan/ Athens, Summer 2023
Reground matter is an ongoing investigation in understanding how bio-based polymers or BioPlastics could be utilized towards additive manufacturing. In collaboration with Prof. Athina Papadapoulou, Prof. Christian Pongratz and NYIT student researchers, our team developed several bio-based recipes ranging from coffee, eggshells, pitaya to coconut husk or wood ash to be casted and displayed as a material matrix at UNNatural Exhibition at the Centre for Mediterranean Architecture on June 2024. This project also evaulates which correct paramaters and recipe’s ratios so it can be utilized as a 3D printing material through a custom 3D printing workflows researched at NYIT.
