3D-printing egg shells and bioplastics
Teammembers: Arne Ryckewaert, Keanu T'Kindt, Eline Voskuilen, Jenthe Mommerency
Coaches: Louise (UGent) + UGent (Francesca)
The challenge
Clay 3D printers open up new opportunities, as for example the experimentation with new bio-based materials. Nevertheless, many challenges remain open, for example:
-
Can we print these materials with the Stone Flower 3DP at IDC?
-
How should the material be made, conserved, discarded?
-
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this material? Design applications? Design and printing guidelines?
-
How can we engage different stakeholders and actors in this mission? How can we make this a self-sustainable system?
-
...
