Can popcorn be square?
In the field of digital fabrication we experimented if we can shape a Pop Corn in its "popping-process". Through several iterations we were able to produce reliably square shaped popcorn. Maybe not the best way to do it, but the way we had success, is with an wooden mould in a microwave.

We started with an 3D printed mould , which melted. Heating the aluminum mould worked, but was a bit tedious. With the wooden mould it worked several times. For scaling purposes we would need to create a more heat resistent mould, obviously. But with our project we showed it is possible which was enough to amaze some of our colleagues.
