The Materials Lab hosted a workshop in the Build Lab for a Halloween-themed workshop where an assortment of spooky holiday masks were made!
Individuals could choose from over ten unique masks based off the likeness of faculty and staff members at the School of Architecture. Constructed from either ABS, LDPE or Styrene plastic, the masks are heated and pressed using the vacuum former located in the Build Lab. Mask molds have been prepared ahead of time by 3D scanning our subjects in the Technology Lab, then CNC routing the MDF molds in the Build Lab.

The Materials Lab hosted a workshop on hydrographic printing, a simple method of applying printed designs to three-dimensional surfaces. Participants learned how to transfer material patterns (including carbon fiber, marble, and wood grain) onto a steel camper mug.
To learn the step-by-step process used for hydrographic printing in this workshop, please refer to the Materials Lab Hydrographic Printing Methodology Report.
