Cork Fabric is suited to interior design applications such as upholstery, wall coverings, and wall panels, and benefits from the high elasticity of elastane fiber as well as the acoustic and thermal insulating properties found in cork. The cork is made with the by-products from wine stopper production and is treated with a metallic finish.

Project<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Hype Project was a collaborative project investigating deliberate messages in visual media, specifically in printable 3D digital construction. Participating classes came from <a href="http://www.towson.edu/">Towson University</a> in Maryland, <a href="http://www.winthrop.edu/">Winthrop University</a> in South Carolina, and <a href="http://www.dundee.ac.uk/">The University of Dundee</a> in Scotland. By using the Second Life platform, students were able to collectively display their work in the same location despite their physical geography. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The project objective was "To develop a conscious and deliberate message, stance or opinion based on politics, social conduct, religion, moral or ethical thinking, patriotism, etc. To design and model a brooch, tea pot, shoe, pendant that communicate a particular message, stance, or opinion, utilizing Rhino & Flamingo/Hypershot"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The student work is displayed at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Towson%20Innovation%20Lab/248/220/23">Towson Innovation Lab</a> island in Second Life; each student has a presentation board that explains their concept and process. From these boards, jurors Michael Gayk (3D Systems University) and Kreg Jones (Art Institute of Philadelphia) selected a handful of images to be displayed in the gallery. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
