What is Devel'up material?

The Devel'up material is made with a mixture of green waste and starch. This material can be used to learn working with the laser cutter or cnc-mill thanks to it's similar properties to wood. Another usefull way to use the material is using a heat resistent mold and make 3D shapes that can't be made with wood. The prototype can then be put on a compost heap and is thus digested.
