How to make a joint for a movable structure? The design of the articulation started having as a case study the above working model.The joints were designed in order to serve specific movements which will provide the required mobility in the construction. In order to have full movement, the construction require 12 articulation. The essential [...]
The main goal of the process was to study the Milling process and use the 54mm Ballmill to explore the different layers of the Valchromat panel by subtraction method. By creating a pattern of curves in Rhino3D we used the curves as toolpath in RhinoCAM to simulate the process. The entire milling process took 40min.
We part from the idea of recreating a structure that can move and stay in equilibrium as easily and as gracefully as a Calder Structure. These sculptures allow for a great deal of movement, and work perfectly in equilibrium, continuously stabilizing itself. We devised a joint that allowed us to take the Calder system a [...]
The concept behind the project was to exploit the 3 layer property of the valchromat panel, as well as to understand the tools being given and achieve an effect using the tool to our advantage. We wanted to do something which would take a lot of time to model in rhino but because of the [...]
