An editorial read from the Channel archive, kept in the relaunch for its coverage of 3d printing.
While the name “"lasto Plastic" sounds like an 80's punk band, it is, in fact, a new material from 3D printing company Shapeways. The plastic is elastic to a certain degree yet maintains its shape after stretching or squeezing. It will break when pulled too hard and is still in the experimental stage on the Shapeways website.
