Bio plastic 3d printer

Location: Germany

Duration: 1 Week

Due to my curiosity to additively fabricate bio-polymer structures, I decided to make my own Gelatine-based bio-plastic 3D printer. The main challenge was to design syringe system and integrated with extruder’s step motor. The distance between every convolution of worm gear made the material extrude faster than I expected. Than I’ve changed the worm gear with more intense distance the problem has removed it.

Hidden Gem

Location: Turkey

Duration: 2 Weeks

Hidden Gem is a new promise for an alternative future of the material, which resembles roughly carved mines and was taken from the underground. The low-poly pellicular shape is also reminiscent of the digital age. In addition to that the rocky shape of the lamp produced by 3D printing technology and molded by it.

Hidden gem to demonstrate the malleability and durability of biomaterials. The hexagonal part of the product contains dense activated carbon particles that can contribute to the air quality of space by filtering particles around it
