The Research
What is the influence of cell structures towards the bending behavior of the TPE?
The Research method:
1. Choosing one fragment of our furniture
2. Requirements of that one fragment
3. Cell structures research (causing it to be soft, hard, stif, flexible, strong or weak etc.)
4. 3D printing the above cell structures
5. Testing and evaluating the cell structures
6. Conclusion for the choice of structure.

Translation to Grasshopper
Now it was our task to think of selecting certain structures, and translating them in a three-dimensional way. What should be mentioned i that there can be made many more interesting structures, but for now we've made a selection of three different strategies of structures that result in a different bending behaviour. The translation into Grasshopper has been a very helpfull excersice for us, it made us understand the logic of Grasshopper better. We can use this knowledge and skills to make even better structures in a later research, for now; let's focus on our three selections.
What should be mentioned is that all the structures are made for experiment prints; to test the behaviours of these structures with different porosities, wire thicknesses et cetera (defined with attractors).
