We developed the open-source Travel Reduction Algorithm (TRAvel) Slicer to enable the printing of complex 3D models on a wider range of printers and in a wider range of materials than is currently possible with traditional slicing methods.| Hand and Machine
As design practitioners begin to consider methods for sustainably disposing of what is made, we explore potential directions for designing with the multispecies-driven degradation of 3D printed biomaterial objects. We present three past encounters with multispecies agents—plants, insects, fungi—that degraded biomaterial samples in our lab. Based on these encounters, we speculate on near-future engagements that such organisms might have with our printed biomaterial objects, where an object...| Hand and Machine
