=== Bioplastic+Paper Composite for Mannequin Skin ===

During Week 2, we experimented with bioplastics in order to create the skin of the mannequin.

You can check the link [[:fabricademy2017:students:emilia.pucci:2.Bioplastic skin|here]] and [[:fabricademy2017:students:emilia.pucci:6.lasercutting_the_skin|here]] to refer to the first iteration of this process.

I will only add that an interesting and unexpected result was the creation of a composite material composed by bioplastic + paper from the foamboard we used to cure the bioplastic.

LESSONS LEARNED

If you want to add an illustration or decorated pattern to your bioplastic, laying it on top of a paper sheet and letting it cure will do the trick 😁
