Creating the world’s largest 3D-printed structure

Futurum

To achieve this, it used a large-scale additive manufacturing solution that was developed by Thermwood Corporation. The torch geometry was achieved by first printing smaller elements of the structure and then joining them into ring geometries that were assembled together to create the beautiful form of the torch.” Byron Pipes comes in.

Plant polymers as plastic alternatives

Futurum

His team began its research with the end goal of creating a sustainable and practical alternative to plastic packaging. But our research won’t stop there. The team will be investigating how to manufacture the plant-based packaging using fewer resources and chemicals, less energy, and with an eye on any other socio-ecological impacts.
