3D Print biobased materials

From digital to physical.

Today, the use of materials from biological waste has spread in many sectors to propose an alternative to materials that are not compatible with the environment, leading us to rethink the way we design, manufacture and experience products.
With the 3D Printing biomaterials workshop we want to propose a design methodology that accompanies every creative in a functional design path, from the choice of biomaterials to the final product. Starting with the composition of bio-based materials from organic waste, participants will use Grasshopper to create a parametric design and generate paths for 3D printing, concluding the workshop by printing their own design with their own material.
 

3 days – online

BIOBASED MATERIALS
Between theory and practice we will understand what biomaterials are, how they are used and how to create recipes suitable for 3D printing, teh focus will be on rigid properties.

30th of May
15:00 -19:00 (GMT+2)

COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN
In the second part we will open Grasshopper to create the design as well as the code for 3D printing.


31st of May
10:00 -17:00 (GMT+2) 

3D PRINTING
 In the last part we will 3D print the generated design, understanding what are the requirements to create a 3D printer for biomaterial, how it is used and how to print.

1st of Jun
10:00 -17:00 (GMT+2)

from 250€ to 390€

30-31May 1Jun
The registration will close the 22th of May

Useful info

With the participant we will shared:

-Workshop tutorials pre-recorded. The days of the workshop will be not recorded.
– Material and recipied list
– Grashopper script to generate gcode

The workshop will be run in Zoom Platform and we will use a Miro board to share and present information.

Hard skills: This workshop mixes three wide technologies, biomaterial, computational design and 3D printing, for this reason we hardly recommend having a good experience at least in one of those.

Materials: The participant will be provided with the list of materials they need to purchase to make the recipens.

Softwares: We will us Rhinoceros 7/8 and Grasshopper

Machines: Is hard recomment to us a 3D printer for this workshp. See in the FAQ what you can use.

Here the four modalities you can follow the entire workshop:

-You have a LDM Print
-You have a FFF Printer + QZ Extruder

– QZ Portable
– Sirynge
