[3D Printed Chess Set] Preliminary Models

Step 1: Research

        i) Watch documentary on Norwegian chess prodigy

        ii) Find books in library on Ancient Greek pottery

Step 2: Create preliminary models for chess pieces in Rhino

Outsourced Wearable Object

1) Screenshot of original 6 concepts (from class)

2) Proof sheet for 3 selected concepts

              

3) HD render of final design

4) Screenshot of model having passed tolerance tests in Shapeways

5) Screenshot of wall thickness analysis "heatmap view" in Shapeways

[Reverse Eng. Object] HD Render and Exploded View

1) Four views of completed object

2) Exploded view of object with all of its components

[OBDF 210] Milestone Projects

Last blog post of the semester!

Here are some project highlights (from my OBDF 210: CAD and Digital Fabrication course at Alberta University of the Arts).

1) Surface Design Study

        i) Examples of surface design IRL

        ii) Surface design study in Rhino

2) Reverse Engineered Object 

        i) Object to reconstruct in Rhino

        ii) Process images

        iii) HD render

3) Outsourced Wearable Object

        i) Proof sheet

        ii) Screenshot of tolerance tests in Shapeways

        iii) Screenshot of wall thickness analysis (Heatmap View) in Shapeways

         iv) HD render

4) 3D Printed Chess Set

        i) Research (chess sizes, Ancient Greek pottery forms)

        ii) Handles

        iii) Make2D is the bee's knees!

        iv) HD render of the set

        v) Image of printed pieces
