After our success, with glass casting in VOHP plaster (USG Hydroperm), we had a discussion in the lab about “What’s next?”. The students in the lab are working on their final two class projects, one of which involves printing molding masters. They use the masters to create plaster molds for slip casting. It seemed […]

Last week, DHUB in Barcelona was a gracious host of Mark Ganter and Professor Dr. Salvador Borrós of Institut Químic de Sarrià-Universitat Ramon Llull. The event (“Materiality”) was the part of a series of lectures presented by the Fabrication Laboratory: Full Print3D. Salvador’s presentation was an overview of the material science/material engineering issues in the […]
