The aim of this exercise was to create a kinetic structure with rotational movement with minimal number of 3d printed joints. It is a free standing structure made up of 20 2mm fiberglass rods, through two 3D printed perforated rings of dia.. The form resembles a conical cylinder which when rotated at different angles form [...]

The aim of the exercise was to create a dynamic form with minimal number of simple joints. A dynamic structure was designed with only three types of 3D printed joints ie; 1) roller-joints 2) sliders and 3) and perforated ring. The whole structure was made to take advantage of the bending properties of the [...]

The Sliding Joints !
Group 1 attempted to create a combination between dynamic and fixed joints to create a zipper like joints that moves on a horizontal axis . With this movement of the joints , the tension fiberglass cables changes in form to create alternation of forms and directions . 4 different [...]
