FiberEUse library - Physical structures

This repository contains the Bill of Materials (BOM) and the joint components of the physical structures part of the FiberEUse library, the materials library of the H2020 European project FiberEUse. The virtual part of the FiberEUse library is visible at: https://fibereuselibrary.com/

The concept of this materials library, including the physical structures, was designed and developed at +LAB, Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering "Giulio Natta", Politecnico di Milano (Italy).

This repository supports the Ph.D. dissertation:
Romani A (2024, foreseen). Circularity by Design, Materials, and Additive Manufacturing: Fostering sustainable and circular materialities enabled by additive manufacturing. Ph.D. dissertation in Design, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
