REEF test piece
Rome, Italy
Co-de-iT (design team: Alessio Erioli, Alessandro Zomparelli, Tommaso Casucci, Andrea Graziano) + disguincio&co (Mirko Daneluzzo, Mirco Bianchini) for D-Shape
Several locations
2013
.
As a necessary step further for the Reefs project, a test phase is required. In order to implement it, our team (Co-de-iT + disguincio&co) designed a test piece to be placed underwater for monitoring of several variables:
. mechanical resistance of the material to undercurrent erosion
. colonization process over time
The piece was designed constraining the 3D anisotropic Reaction-Diffusion process to a few design principles:
. a tripod shape to improve stability to undercurrents
. a gradient of cavity size to provide a heterogenous space for colonization
The final piece bounding box was constrained by maximum transportation size.
On May 18th, 2013 we went to D-Shape facility in Pisa to assist in the final extraction of the piece from the sand heap resulting from the finished printing process
Reef test piece de-dusting team: Filippo Nassetti, Alessandro Zomparelli, Alessio Erioli.

The piece will be exhibited next October 4-6 in Rome for Maker Faire Rome.
