Pretty cool, i love this stuff. But I fail to see what's so "endless" about this chair. Is it "endless" because you have the file at hand and can 3d print the thing anytime you want for all eternity? I hate it when architects and designers throw around words just because they make their projects sound cooler or more interesting (and yeah, I'm an architect and see this being done all the time by friends and colleagues)

It is endless since the whole chair is build up with only one line. The line for a rocking chait is around 400 meters long. That's the idea behind endless (line)..

So "endless" means "has 2 ends"?

@Jay, where's you're robot printing a chair? I'd like to get on your videos page just to nit-pick your verbage completely avoiding the actual content. Oh wait.. what? You don't have a robot? I see.....

Fantastic Video.

Wonderful. Congratulations. I think one can't avoid the reality that the supply of raw materials from which these objects are made is, if not technically endless, almost so in our age.

Very cool. So, it looked like the plastic insides of the fridges were pulverized. I can see a hopper on the arm there. Was it a plastic/resin mixture or melted down? Also, anybody know what software was used?

if we can start to print things we use every day and recycle those materials when they break then we will no longer need some of the raw materials mined from the earth. thus creating a cleaner world. endless meaning you can keep recycling the same material and rebuilding.
