Caterpillar lamp

Lamp blog4

The idea of this assignment was to use paper with the techniques of cutting/folding using laser cutting technology to create a lamp that was unique in its form and exhibited an innovative use of the laser cutting machine. We used an origami technique to create a folding pattern that was flexible but at the same [...]

DIGITAL FABRICATION ::: EXERCISE 2 – Valchromat milling ::: GROUP 19

milling project.pdf

Performance Horizontal Roughing was important to be done prior to the 3-axis Projection Pocketing in order to save time. The whole process in total took 1 hour. 3D milling – Process consisted of two phases: First phase: horizontal roughing Tool: BallMill 26mm in diameter Dimensions of the board: 600 by 400mm Boards of 8mm thickness [...]

The (B) Lamp

B lamp

Students:  Fernando Barba Castillo / Jose Starsky Naya Lara / Ricardo Fernandez For this exercise we were given methacrylate as a material and bending as the technique to be used. Since the beginning the material presented several drawbacks, for example the fragility but at the same time the rigidity of the material to bend. Trying [...]

Ba-Ro-La Lampara

DSC_0690

For our project, we were assigned the material paper/cardboard and the geometrical manipulation ‘fold’. Our concept for this lamp was inspired by origami and the use of the water bomb technique. The water bomb technique is the basis of numerous types of patters that can be used to make geometric manipulations within a surface. We [...]
