Project Description: Combining our findings at the Mezzo level with Micro-level paste printing techniques, we developed a workflow to print without scaffolds by constantly adjusting the nozzle angle to improve layer connections. In addition to adjusting printing parameters at the Mezzo scale, we also explored the optimal geometric characteristics at the Macro scale and how to subdivide surfaces for different printing parameters. This approach helped eliminate the need for supports while strengthening the overall structure.
