13. Applications & Implications¶

Reference & Inspirations¶

Inspirations coming from Biomaterial's week

get inspired!

These references are available in a open Miro board with other weeks inspirations : INSPIRATIONS

During this week, wich is the final one of 1st part of Fabricademy, we had to think about a project we would like to develop on ourselves during the 2nd part of the program. I decided to develop more deeply the Biofabricating materials topic we have seen on week 06, starting from the wastes production observation during Craft Beer & Cider production. I am thinking about exploring a little bit more the subject in general to start my project, to see in wich kind of transformation (Mycelium, Kombucha, bioresins, others...) process I continue, and to test then different applications related to the Beverages lifecycle, including packaging & communication tools. I would integrate some topics seen during other weeks like Thermochromic inks, Laser cutting, CNC milling, 3D printing & tooling definition too in my creative process.

some areas of interest melting craft beers, glass & fabricademy

My family is producing craft beer in Normandy since about 2 years and Green Fabric workshop is sharing its space with a craft cider association. And I worked for 5 years at a glass company experimenting big packaging issues. So I see some opportunities there to learn a lot on new topics by starting from previous experiences, fails & successes, and with some support.

Process¶

Following the lecture of Anastasia, I have started a Miro board to group my researchs & inspirations, and to define my project perimeter thanks to the LoopHoles ideation tool from Transitions.

These ideation steps are available in an open Miro board dedicated to the project

Research¶

Packaging problems in an industrial environment (excessive) and in a craft environment (random depending on the product, risky)

My first idea of product is packaging, and to explore folding & foaming solutions of biomaterials. I have then explored other using and developed a completely different application in the finalization of my project.
