3D printing
Exercise 3, Rapid Prototyping / 3d Printing-Group 23
The main idea of the project was to optimize the amount of material needed to 3d print the object, retaining structural stability and strength. That is why the number of connections between top and bottom points are limited.
Hexagon – Light Diffuser
The concept was to create a light diffuser that would allow diffused light to penetrated whilst reducing glare. The hexagon was subdivided into its most basic form, a triangular grid which the design would be based upon.
