InFoam Printing – 3D printing smart foam elements

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Arduino Members RoboticsPosted on: People , , ,

Ideated during a five days workshop held by Covestro in cooperation with the architecture faculty of the FH Münster MSA, InFoam Printing is a novel production process to alter the properties of flexible foam by giving it a skeleton which is able to distribute forces differently and create new kinetic effects.

By injecting a hardening material, the team is able to create complex geometries inside the foam.  Dynamic geometries are created using Rhinoceros Grasshopper and injected in the material via UR5 robot arm equipped with a customised injection tool made using Uitimaker 3D printed parts, Arduino and SFB-Industries Pinch Solenoid Valve.

Bright Matter – A group show exploring light, space, and perception

Illusive rear-projections, flickering moirés, fluorescent puzzle boxes: opening this Friday, November 21st, at Muriel Guépin Gallery in New York City is ‘Bright Matter’, a dazzling group show that’ll bend, warp and (if only briefly) break the way we see.
