Introduction
Many projects require a surface covering to resist weather, splashing and dirt, or to otherwise contain liquids or parts.
Challenges
UV and water resistance, reusability and renewable material sources.
Approaches
Plywood
Coroplast
Coroplast corugated plastic is an all-purpose sheet-stock. Waterproof, resists mold and decay even when submerged in
water for prolonged durations, insulating, foldable, impact and tear resistant, cuts with a
knife. Useful for making boxes, shingles, buckets, backpacks, kayaks, sinks, sluices,
rulers, drill guides and templates, and even some structural elements.
Parts
Interoperability
Development targets
Coroplast single-sheet casting machine to interoperate with the plastic shredder
and plastic press components. (provides: fresnel lens, coroplast, single-side coro,
flat sheet stock. Consumes: recycled plastic, fiber, mycofoam, epoxies, etc)
White / Black single sheet coro for heat insulation / absorption
