The 3D printing Workflows for Repair 

workshop introduced students from Studio 704 st Stuart Weitzmann School of Design to processes of additive manufacturing for repair in order to engage with the limited lifespan of bio composite materials. The students identified and tackled cracks and missing pieces from deteriorated bio composite panes by engaging with methods of registration through photogrammetry and mesh-based post processing. This allowed them to generate repair patterns starting from either generative algorithms or creating their own informed by the panel´´ s existing geometry. The repair action was performed through non-flat 3D printing, which gage students an understanding of material constituents and robotic fabrication. Therefore, they explored the possibility to steer geometry and material deposition through additive manufacturing, a process which reframes repair beyond merely addressing damage, becoming an extension of the design process.
