Dishmaker
Dishmaker is a machine which creates cups, bowls, and plates from acrylic material and can recycle them into their raw material when they are done being used.
It was designed by Leonardo Bonanni and made by The MIT Media Lab’s Counter Intelligence Group.
Dishmaker uses the shape-memory property of acrylic to make the dishes.
