Thingiverse : MakerBot Mars Base Challenge
Competition entry (teamwork with Julia Schults)

---

“The idea of the S.C.O.M (Sulfur City On Mars) project was born from two reflections about 3D printing. First, how to use real scale 3D printing as a fabrication method for a Martian base, and secondly, how to design easy-to-print 3D files in order to build a playful and fun 3D printed model that would allow anyone to explore the different possible configurations of a future human community on Mars. The project tries to focus on more precise aspects of life on Mars, like feasibility, construction principles, functions, ressources distribution… Instead of the study of a simple formal design. The next boards are explaining the different steps that led to the final 3D printed model.”
