Artist statement<br />
The Articular chaise is the result of<br />
an exploration into the possibilities of<br />
sustainable, large-scale 3d Printing.<br />
The work is produced by leveraging 6-axis<br />
industrial robot arm fitted with prototype<br />
plastic extruder developed in-house at the<br />
University of Canberra.<br />
The development of a sustainable outdoor<br />
seating concept presents a unique and<br />
organic form language. The form is<br />
in-part driven by the constraints of this<br />
new printing methodology. This printing<br />
method enables the sculptural form to not<br />
be possible through other processes of<br />
manufacturing.<br />
Biography<br />
Maitlan is an Industrial design<br />
undergraduate student from the University<br />
of Canberra. Her work centres upon<br />
exploring the intersection between<br />
traditional modes of making, and<br />
emergent manufacturing processes. Her<br />
current work focuses on the possibilities<br />
of large scale additive manufacturing<br />
and its implications for new sustainable<br />
product typologies in both form,<br />
composition and function.<br />
The possibilities of this new printing<br />
methodology encourages the use of<br />
shredded recycled plastic which can<br />
explore and address the contemporary<br />
global issue of plastic waste.<br />
