| summary |
This work-in-progress paper describes a body of research that utilizes the invention and application of a novel method to 3D-print calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The resultant 3D-printed objects can be computationally optimized and used as a scaffold for the growth of various aquatic life that exists at the interface of soft edges and the built, specifically (but not limited to) coral polyps. Rather than utilizing materials designed for anthropocentric terrestrial environments, we can harness materials and forms native to aquatic ecosystems in combination with advanced computation and fabrication techniques to help foster applied research in service to healthier ecosystems and cohabitation. This paper introduces the novel application of a 3D-printed calcium carbonate, mimicking a similar material composition to that of coral, and describes the additive manufactured medium with regard to 3D powder-printing methodologies. Hypothesis and proposal of morphogenesis in surface and volume are identified as key factors for interface with aquatic organisms. Current and future applications are additionally exhibited through a combination of material composition, surface, and form as targeted intervention and artificial restoration for aquatic ecosystems. While our planet requires anthropocentric mitigation strategies for reduction of greenhouse gases that contribute to aquatic life’s greatest threats, we must simultaneously develop strategies for adaptation that immediately respond to the current realities of a changing climate. |
