Hot Wire Extensions
Circular explorations
From discarded nylon powder to organic forms, Hot Wire Extensions process breathes new life into industrial waste. Guided by the currents of electricity, a simple nichrome wire transforms into a skeleton, around which material grows like a vine entwining a tree. Each surge of heat coaxes the unused 3D printing powder into solid, bone-like structures—an alchemy of waste and ingenuity.
Rooted in sustainability and driven by curiosity, this method embodies more than design; it’s a gesture of transformation. In this film, we invite you to witness the choreography of material, energy, and imagination—an exploration of how discarded fragments become objects of wonder.
