I think this is really cool tech, but it is a huge stretch to suggest this can be used to produce furniture. I wish the article focused on more reasonable, small-scale use cases.
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoI was thinking the same thing. The material looks like it has the consistency of dijon mustard. To make a chair, you'd need to be able to have bridges, which that material couldn't do. Even if you could, how could you collapse it for packing? Of course, even if you did decide to focus on small-scale use cases, does the savings in shipping costs due to smaller packaging offset the higher expense in manufacturing? And is it food safe? It's a cool tech, but I'm just having a hard time figuring out how it could be useful compared to current tech.
