Material Exploration

Body kit otions.

Paper Mache





Using paper mache we would be able to easily manipulate the shape and form of the body by paper mache-ing to a pattern. To reinforce the shape and strength wire would be necessary and the final pattern would then be dipped in resin for hardening.


Positives of a paper mache body kit:

-lightweight
-cheap? (depending on the resin)
-simple moulding process
-fast manufacturing
-reuse of waste material eg paper (sustainability)
-opportunity for users to make and replace their own body kit

Negatives:
-questionable strength
-durability
-structure
