Biomaterial Cookbook for 3D Printing

As the HCI community continues to develop new materials for tangible interfaces, the way in which knowledge is disseminated has also expanded to more effectively communicate complex, embodied material experiences. Accordingly, we explore two goals in this pictorial: (1) to develop new sustainable biomaterials for 3D printing, thus extending the current library of materials for digital fabrication, and (2) to further the way the pictorial format is used to disseminate material knowledge by exploring alternative types of publications, specifically cookbooks.
