Perfomative
Biopolymer Design II
DigitalFUTURES Workshop Series 2023︎
WORKSHOP: WORKING DIGITALLY WITH
PLANT-BASED BIOGELS
The integration of biological processes in design, both as natural and synthetic technologies, are rapidly dissolving long-held distinctions between the sciences, arts, and engineering while facilitating the evolution of more complex relationships between our built and natural worlds. As more bio-based methods of make filter into the digital workflows that support creative industry, designers are afforded incredible opportunity to explore the complex performance and versatility bio-materials offer. In this workshop, participants learned to design, make, and3D print customized biogels into multi-material biopolymer samples. The experience aimed to provide a foundational understanding of novel biomaterials and a brief survey of contemporary explorations in bio-digital design focusing on concepts around sustainability, multi-materiality, and aesthetics.
Included in the (4) sessions, participants received a tutorial demonstrating a simplified procedure for making biogel at home. This was followed by an introduction to digital bio-printing design considerations, opportunities, and a technical walk-through of a Grasshopper to G-code workflow that included methods for creating custom bio-gel 3D printing toolpaths from 2D images. The goal was to design material samples that utilized toolpath centered procedures to 3D print gradated biopolymer composites with customized sets of plant-based gels varying in opacity, color, and texture.
