chopstick 3D printing

With the use of chopsticks as ‘lumber,’ the researchers state that this material is prime for creating a porous structure with its aggregate construction. Using two different methods, jammed aggregation and stratified aggregation, the team has been able to come up with a clear and innovative method for elevating 3D printed architecture to the larger scale. Both methods, conceptualized through research and testing, employ the use of rows and rows of chopsticks which are accompanied by glue, and dispensed by an equally innovative device.
