“The draft allowed us to lay out our project clearly. Now. we have one thing left to do. which is to select the right materials. And that is what we'll do together in this lesson. First of all. let's talk about suppliers. There are many materials on the market. and we have made specific choices. which I will now explain in detail. PLA is a plant-based thermoplastic commonly produced from corn starch as its primary raw material. It stands out among other 3D printing materials for its natural origins and widespread use. PLA is a versatile material with numerous benefits. It prints exceptionall...”

A course by William et Julien (Bold Design)
Based in Paris, William Boujon and Julien Benayoun are two multidisciplinary designers best known for their FDM 3D printing experiments. Together, they cofounded the Bold agency and chose to work only with ethical, environmentally friendly materials.
Over the years, they have worked with Habitat Design Lab, the Centre Pompidou, and the Quincaillerie Moderne. They have also collaborated with other artists such as Emmanuelle Roule and Hors-Studio, and some of their creations have been acquired by the Centre National des Arts Plastiques. Alongside their experiments with machines, they also lead workshops to spread their knowledge on the subject.
