Material Grant Awards Announced

Thanks to everyone who applied for our Spring 2016 Material Grants. A big congratulations to Nevin Blum and Drew McMillian, Connie Chang and Asher Intebi, Ariel Padilla, and Ben Wilde on their winning proposals! Many of the winning proposals came from Allison Gaskin's Construction 5 course: Blum and McMillian will be investigating structural fabrics such as Concrete Cloth; Chang and Intebi are developing a modular acoustic wall system using wood wool; and Padilla and partner are researching alternatives to PLA and ABS filament for FDM 3d printers. Wilde will be attempting to reproduce plastic 3D prints in metal through sintering and casting, using tools available in the Design Lab. Stay tuned for updates on these exciting projects!
