THE WASTIVE: An Interactive Ebb and Flow of Digital Fabrication Waste
What if digital fabrication waste could observe the world? What would they see? What would they say? "THE WASTIVE" reimagines digital fabrication waste as sentient observers, giving them a poetic voice through interactive art. As viewers approach, the installation awakens, mimicking the rhythmic ebb and flow of ocean waves - a silent dialogue where discarded materials "observe" and respond to human presence. These interactions echo the gentle murmurs of the sea, transforming technological resid…

High Light-Efficiency Holographic Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing using a MEMS-based Phase-only Light Modulator
Light-based 3D printing, which relies on photocurable resins, has shown the capability to produce complex geometries with high resolution and fidelity. Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM) employs a digital micromirror device (DMD) to project high-speed sequences of amplitude light patterns into a rotating resin volume, enabling rapid fabrication of 3D structures through photopolymerization. Typically, the light projection efficiency in such binary amplitude modulator-based syst…
