Opportunities: New applications: “We want to talk to our customers and show them our capabilities. It is a process to get to the end product. We are very complicated, and so making things simple for clients is something we strive toward. “But we struggle to get it to take its place. “In an environmentally-conscious society, resin should have its place,” Pastrovic says. Their designers chose to use translucent Chroma, and we fabricated holes through it, so you can see people inside the stairwell, much like seeing a surfer in a wave.”Ĭhallenges: Getting new clients to realize the potential of resin continues to be a challenge. “They wanted the staircase to be like a wave. “Google wanted a staircase that fit the chill attitude of Southern California,” Baumeister says. National companies seek out 3form products and projects when they cannot find what they are seeking through traditional building materials. The museum wanted an iconic project, something that was recognizable, and it is stunning inside the woods.” When people sit down and touch the bench, it plays music. They get a little wet and learn about evaporation and condensation. “There is a fog bridge so that when people come out, it mists. “They wanted a way to draw people outdoors, to get them to explore the outside,” says Pam Baumeister, Communication Specialist for 3form. Architects used 3form materials to create an interactive exhibit for the local science museum. A recent project includes a treehouse built in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The resin-based products can also be used outdoors. In some cases, even objects can be interwoven into the panels during the manufacturing process.Īccording to Pastorvic, it’s the best of both worlds: privacy without feeling completely boxed in. The key is that the product is bendable and translucent, allowing for a final manufactured product where light can stream through and color can be added. These panels can be used by architects and builders for a variety of purposes including walls, stairwells, even bases of couches. Known for its use of Varia Ecoresin, a high performance, bendable resin, 3form manufactures translucent panels. Sometimes the parts and the hardware for a project come from elsewhere, but all of the rest of it is done here.”
