SD 7620 Practice of Sustainable Design | Fall 2015
Building further on the original Sp3dr 3D printer design, this product offers a change in the way a person approaches material selection for rapid prototyping. Additive manufacturing provides a great platform for zero-waste, but the materials used do not offer restorative properties for other organisms in further down the food chain. When biomaterials, additive manufacturing, and systems theory come together, a designer will have one less impact to worry about during the rapid prototyping phase.
