- 3D Printed SurfaceThis textile is a normal mesh enhanced by a FDM (fused deposition modelling) 3D printer that prints a layer of flexible material onto the textile. This technique gives structure and rigidity to the textile where it is really required, for example, in the front part of a shoe or within the sole. This process can also be used create something more fashionable, like a woman's handbag.
- TRAshellThis prototype is a free-form shell of 300 x 300 x 2-5 mm, manufactured of green agro-fibre thermoset composites, of free-oriented short natural fibres like coconut shells, cereal straw and black coal ash as an agro- active filler and a plant-based thermoset bioresin. In addition, glowing additives were applied, to suit the possible application of the proposed product in exterior façade applications, for night lighting.
