"Urban Green: Bamboo Bicycle" tackles the construction of biodegradable bamboo bicycles. Despite their environmentally friendly reputation, their construction is a time-consuming process using synthetic sealants and toxic paints. To address these problems, the students developed a new manufacturing process that replaces the manual gluing and sanding of bamboo joints with faster steps. This is achieved through a combination of 3D printing and injection molding. Environmentally friendly materials such as bio-resin lignin and resin are used.
