Concept Motion was the main theme in the printed object, and aim to create a dynamic representation of the space. The idea was inspired from the mechanical (reciprocating) engines and the sequential movement between engine parts (cylinders and rods). The object consists of five joints, two different types, and ten steel rods. Moving one of [...]
Concept The idea was to create a geometrical pattern which can change and be perceived as a different volume from different angles. Leonardo da Vinci drawings were our inspiration. The object consists of 50 mm cubes and in each row the cube touches the adjacent cube in its corner (intersection point) and they have one [...]
DIGITAL FABRICATION – LAMP – RIBBING Specifications Technique : ribbing Material: methacrylate Thickness : 3 mm Design process To articulate ribbing as an inverse technique as opposed to outward expression. To attain fluid forms within a rigid geometry Joinery detail -insertion -grooves and notches The following were our observations: Material 1. During the laser process, there is [...]
Sliding Structure The starting point was the choice of the power that puts the model in motion – this power is gravity. The model slides down a rope and the mechanism converts the energy of sliding to rotate the joints. That’s why we needed to 3d print not only joints, but also the gears. Furthermore [...]
Infomilling Because of the specifications of the Valchromat material, and because we could use different tool sizes we thought that this assignment is a very good way to display information. We decided to display information about laaC students, specifically their origin. So we placed a worldmap on top of our piece of material. We placed [...]
