Using mycelium to reinforce 3D printed clay structures
At the Institute of Architecture and Media at Graz University of Technology, the Shape Lab research group developed a new material named MyCera composed of clay, wood sawdust, and mycelium (vegetative part of fungi).
The research focuses on using mycelium as an intelligently oriented fiber reinforcement to increase the structural performance of 3D printed unfired clay elements and allow for bio-welding of fired elements.
The Shape Lab team used a Delta WASP 40100 Clay to carry out their research and successfully print MyCera, taking advant ..read more
