WE LOVE MATERIALS - Monocoque


Monocoque

This is a fascinating exploration of monocoque construction, a technique where the external skin supports the structural load and the skin density corresponds to the simulated loads with the addition of  a very clever 3D printing process that allows for the assignment of structural properties to multiple 3-D printed substances. It may look reptilian however it is anything but.
