Inspired by nature’s ability to adapt, Re:flex is an accessible and affordable smart material that can move and change its shape in response to heat. It is the result of multidisciplinary, experiment-driven research that aims to translate technologies normally reserved to aerospace and aeronautics into everyday applications. Re:flex allows the creation of objects that can be reshaped and reused to suit their owner’s needs, providing an alternative to single-use plastic and extending the life of products.
