For my final in Intro to 3D Printing, I attempted to create a 3D cross-stitch model of a plant, which I also stitched. This project was a roller coaster of lessons, even for AMS. I had created a the files on Rhino, split all the pieces to separate files, and sent it to print on the MOJO printer. The file was approved by the staff at AMS, but when I went to pick up the […]
For the final project, I’m going to print and stitch a 3D plant. My technique for creating the the structure of the plant was to geometric shapes to create the structure of the plant, and to then project a grid on the 3d object, extrude the lines and offset them. once that wrap is done, I would delete the original 3D object and be left with a hollow 3D grid. I went to print this […]
This week we were asked to sketch and model an object with two parts. The object I created is a compass with two parts: one part is the base and the other part is the arrow. The design I created incorporates a male/female attachment, so the base of the compass has a small bit to “house” a tiny pin designed for the arrow to sit upon. This was a great exercise to do in order […]
Last semester, I fell in love with digital fabrication. Most of the projects I did revolved around subtracting material (CNC router, laser cutter, lathe, etc.). This semester, I’m stoked to learn about techniques involving more, I guess, addition, which at ITP revolves primarily around 3D printing. I don’t know too much about 3D just yet, but when I explain it to my mom, I make sure she knows that: I’m not printing holograms The printer doesn’t look […]
