ONE MATERIAL CAN PROVIDE 

MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS VIA BIOMIMICRY

Through textile biomimicry, single material can provide multiple functions, simultaneously displaying soft, flexible and robust textures. Creating one product completely without composites will dramatically reduce the recycling cost of current multi-material products.

low cost

One material can be applied for different material properties, such as tension, strength and flexible, due to manufacturer. As for these sample photographs, knit is a remarkable method to design graded functional materials. It will be plenty of tension and structure from soft to hard, by different pattern. 

Laser Engraving   /    Power level 

Through method of laser engraving, it can provide grated functional material. different power level can create different strength.

Recycleing Material

This design project offers some obvious benefits into recycling cycle. 

1. to conserve natural resources  

2. enhancing the sustainability of landfill

3. to save in energy and the reduction in greenhouse gases and pollution that result

4. to reduce the cost of recycling process
