Network
Research Project
Year: 2020
»network« is a custom designed software that produces
g-code for 3d printing. The generated objects are charac-
terized by a meshlike structure that is achieved through
non-planar printing meaning the printed filament is not
only built up layerwise but also directly upright. Similar to
the process of basket-weaving, the objects are created by
alternating between freestanding vertical strands of fila-
ment and horizontally extruded connection layers. Apart
from the distinctive cloudlike aesthetic, this way of produc-
tion only uses a minimal amount of material and thereby
renders the finished products super lightweight.
