Quasizero aims to empower the use of Biobased material in the design field
Quasizero want to fill the critical gap between experimental biomaterials and their application in additive manufacturing. While large quantities of organic resources are generated as byproducts of food, agricultural and industrial processes, they are rarely transformed into printable materials.
Research-driven process that combines material formulation and digital fabrication for circular design
COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN
Computational design tools are apply to simulate fabrication constraints and printing systems enabling us to use the data to generate geometries with informed materials.
.
BYPRODUCT MATERIALS
Selection of byproducts from local industries to formulate material compositions. Through circular strategies or process, we work with byproduct from industries to introduces materials into de value chain.
.
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Through robotic 3D printing, we aim to develop a controlled material deposition process that matches material properties with design needs. Thanks to the non-thermoplastic properties of the material, it can be reused throughout the process, enabling a low-waste production system.
Design process for biobased material
INDUSTRIAL IMPACT
We work in a replicable framework connecting different stakeholders to introduce circular practices along all the value chain.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
By transforming and usign organic byproducts we aims to reduce the dependence on petroleum-based materials.
CULTURAL IMPACT
In our practice, additive manufacturing and local materials intertwine to give form to the identity of a place.
