Material testing machine [exhibit]

Time frame
April - September 2012
Project
The Polyurethane Showroom presents more than products made from the versatile material: the exhibition has been designed to focus on research and development as well. An installation showing mechanical stress tests illustrates the complexity of material development processes. Shoe soles and material samples are subjected to a number of long-term tests. Robot grippers drop seemingly identical balls, thereby demonstrating different product properties.
