Serial Slicing - Cardboard Federico Villa

Once the 63 individual sliced were laser cut it was just a matter of stacking them together and gluing them, and of course move to go along with the process :)

 The beauty about working with cardboard, in my opinion, is that it is an inexpensive way to show form and volume, but if you see it from the perspective of the structural support (interior) it can look almost transparent or show the interior structure perfectly.

I was very happy to see the finished piece and actually experience the power of 3D scanning.

3D scanning and replicating

For our first project, which involved 3D scanning a small sculptural object using the 3D scanner, I was inspired by architect Zaha Hadid and developed small chess pieces which communicate through a sculptural format. 

 From the pieces that I had made out of Ren foam, I selected the queen to scan and replicate using the 3D scanner since it plays well with light and shadow. I took the piece and using Rhino, then contoured the body in order to cut it up and prepare it for laser cutting. Dowel holes were added for structure and alignment.
