Prismatic facets_Group 18_Digital Fabrication#2 Bricks

The initial idea evolved from metal studs on jackets representing the undying age of Rock n’ Roll. The square pyramid unit was altered into an off-centered triangular pyramid to achieve more permutations of arrangement. The units are equilateral triangles with grove for wide end flanges (located at center of each sides). This allows for random arrangement of the blocks without any set rules. As demonstrated through the images,
the triangles can be slided over one another with the help of slide-in dowels freely in any permutation. Also, the joinery helps to support the unit from all side, also allowing for omission of blocks to create openings in the wall The idea was to demonstrate use of a very simple unit that can be repeated to get various altering patterns. This projects the wall made of random complex geometry and eliminates the existence of single units. Thus, giving a continuous pattern of prisms.

The assignment consists in developing milling techniques that would affect the molds for the brick, through “RhinoCAM” plug-in.

The group tried most of the tools and finally, developed the following strategies: 1. Horizontal roughing, for all. 2. Two parallel finishings, at the direction of 45 and 135 degrees. 3. Finally, parallel finishing for the plane parts of the molds.

The final molds have the texture of positive points, that after being casted, print themselves as voids, creating the texture of fabric.

Because of the group being the first one of the batch, the mold given by us, was the curviest.

Therefore, during the casting process, two bricks would come off broken of the molds.

After experimenting with gauze, which resulted evident in the final texture of one brick, the group discovered that what needed to be adjusted was the technique for taking the bricks out of the molds.
