Xiyangzi CAO, Shuo LIU, & Zeyu YANG: Sand is a commonly available materials. It has many unique features, for instance, the insolubility in water, the high melting point and a certain degree of mobility when it is wet. Through this property, sand casting technique has been wildly utilized in traditional manufacturing area in the early time. . . .

Wangshu ZHOU & Jieru DING: This project explores the relationship between material properties of solid wood and CNC-milling technology. In the material study, by investigating the physical effects of drilling in wood, including traces and residual byproducts, a design system is proposed to covert these uncontrollable “misfits” into designable elements within their size and distribution.
