Flufy: Recyclable and Edible Rapid Prototyping using Fluffed Sugar

Published: 05 March 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Low-Fab (low-fidelity fabrication) has allowed designers to speed up the initial prototyping of 3D objects. However, the method is used to quickly verify the key aspects of the model, and are not the final desired object. Therefore, the object generated by Low-Fab are temporal objects in which the disposability and/or reusability of the material should be considered. Here we present a novel prototyping method beyond the concept of Low-Fab, to quickly fabricate large, disposable, reusable and edible objects by using fluffed sugar for the material. We have implemented a fabrication system that supports the user to create desired objects in high-speed, which is based on the idea of cotton candy making. Our idea is to combine food fabrication techniques with rapid prototyping methods, which we believe that it can contribute to both designers and gastronomy.
