Dupont

Project Title: Corian® Solid Surface Reversible Joints

Project Summary: We are tasked with working with DuPont’s Corian® Solid Surface (CSS), which is a versatile building material. Trends in the market are creating the need for reversible joints/fasteners. For example, modular designs benefit from industrial mass production economics; including reversible joints in the design enables inexpensive component replacement & upgrading. Another trend is disassembling articles so the component materials can be recycled. Reversible joints reduce the labor, and therefore the cost, of recovering materials. DuPont would like our team to develop new, reversible joining and fastening methods that satisfy the needs of architects & designers who are pioneering these trends.
