Process-driven material

This project aims to explore the porous and adjustable polymer PLA through machining. PLA refers to Polylactic acid and is easy to melt which makes it suitable for 3D printing. PLA plastics are a versatile and environmentally friendly material. The form of this adjustable polymer is produced by 3D printing and designed through Grasshopper software to adjust the level of porosity.
