The Apple Contest Is Taking Shape Across the Country.
Timeplast Apple Contest participants testing printed apples in real-world environments across the United States.
Real world exposure. One material.
Timeplast Apple Contest participants have placed their printed apples in environments across the country, including rooftops in Las Vegas, greenhouses in Maryland, outdoor gardens in Florida, underground mines in Tennessee, and locations exposed to heavy rainfall in New York.
Printed TimeMass Passive apples transforming after exposure to heat, rainfall, humidity, water, and outdoor conditions.
Some apples still look nearly unchanged, while others have already started to soften, reshape, and deteriorate under continuous exposure to heat, rain, humidity, and water. Each location provides a different look at how the same TimeMass Passive material responds to real-world conditions over time.
These are only some of the participants and environments currently being documented. We’ll continue sharing updates as the apples change and the contest progresses.
There is still time to participate. Purchase your TimeMass Passive filament by August 18 and begin your own Apple Contest experiment.
