6. BioFabricating Materials¶
This week we discover the endless and magic world of BIOMATERIALS ! I didn’t expect this amount of possibilities and techniques. Obviously there are still a lot of limits for the results you can have, a lot of Fails as well, but the awareness and consciousness that open your view to a limitless range of alternative is priceless!
So the only way is to:
EXPERIMENT FIRST ! EXPERIMENT HARD ! NO MERCY! :D
