Brianna Finkle: 3-D Printing

After becoming more and more familiar with modeling in Rhino we took some of our models and had the exported as .stl files to be printed. I chose to make some fabulous studded bracelets.

Below is a topographic model sectioned and notched with a grasshopper script in Rhino.

Devin Thompson: Slotted Sculpture

I made the slots a little too tight here. I was barely able to force the pieces together without ripping them, and even after pinching the pieces together they still would pop off or rip. Don't know how that happened. Building up the structure was fun though, really had to take in the fact that it was extremely unstable.

Devin Thompson: Serial Slice

Out of all the exercises so far I think the serial slice is by far my favorite, something about the look of the burnt edges really stands out to me.

Devin Thompson: Radial Waffle

Modeled first in maya, then brought over to rhino. Sliced up and sent to the laser cutter. Next time I need to make sure I letter each slot so it's easier to figure out where to start fitting them in.

Devin Thompson: Polyhedra

My second attempt at the polyhedral form, here's a tip. Don't try to do the most complicated form ever, you'll regret it. 

Nicholas DeBruyne, Pepakura

This prototype object was constructed with paper folding techniques using Pepakura Designer and post processing in Illustrator and Rhino to unfold the shape, lay out on sheets,  designate the fold and cut types, and prepare for laser cutting.

and rendering in Keyshot with a little post processing in Photoshop.

MItchell Biggio : Waffle

The waffle construction with card board. The slots were too close and thin which made it very difficult to put together properly. I didn't quite get it together all the way. Ill have to come back to this one and do it right.
