Danielle Aras - Serial Slicing

This is my first serial sliced cardboard shape. I modeled it in Rhino and contoured the shape then labeled and laid it out manually.

This is what the Rhino model looked like:

For my second sculpture, I used the serial slicing script in Rhino. I had a problem with part of my model overlapping itself so a few of the slices didn't work properly, but I was able to use the contour tool to manually create the missing slices.

This is what the model looked like in Rhino:

This is what the dxf file I sent to be laser cut looked like:

For this project we had to chose a rhino model to create a sliced composition with cardboard. We could either worked with our previously scanned figure or we could try something new. I decided to try something spontaneous in rhino by adjusting the control points and moving the UVN. I came up with several little rhino sketches and I chose one that I liked to build my maquette from.

After the computer files where exported into AutoCAD format DXF, I was ready for building.

Brianna Finkle: Radial Waffle Stucture

Once grasshopper was available, it was time to make some waffles structures. Below is a quick example of a radial waffle structure which might make a really interesting light fixture.

Brianna Finkle: Serial Sliced Object

After becoming more familiar in Rhino we learned how to serial slice an object. After inserting a core and slicing the object comes a process of numbering and laying the components out on a flat sheet to be laser cut. Once the pieces are cut the assembly is simple.

Brianna Finkle : Slotted Sculpture

Below is my first exploration in slotted sculpture. Starting with a Rhino file that was laser cut, several small pieces were created that can be arranged in many different ways.

Below is my exploration in building slotted structures, from the Rhino file that was laser cut to create the individual components to one of many possible configurations.
