Team members: Antonio Tamez & Daniela Quesada This second assignment had the aim of fabricating a bench using laser cutting technology.  The end product was to become part of a larger additive collection of furniture. We were given a simple 3D model designed in Rhino and our task was to shape it into our desired [...]

Group: Luz Michelle Lavayen and Erina Filipovska. Assignment: Digital Fabrication / 3d printing. The inspiration for the 3d brick came from an Arabic pattern which we used to make the skin of the brick. Since the pattern consisted lines and circles, we used that particular one to correspond to the shape of the brick which [...]

This work is a collaboration between Ayber Gülfer and Jordi Portell and describes the fabrication process for the Lego-like-brick exercise in the Digital Fabrication Tools class. The nurbs modell was converted to a mesh and exported as *.stl in order to send it to the fabrication laboratory. We rendered the modell with Blender 2.54 to [...]

> First, we created three curves. We copied and multiplied them in order to create a pattern. This pattern would only leave 3mm in between each of the curves in order to remove as much mass as possible from our brick. Next, we extruded the curves passed the brick. Next, we used the Boolean difference command [...]
