[OBDF 310] Parametric Vessel

Parametric Vessel: Grasshopper to Plaster

For this assignment:

• I developed 3 definitions for parametric vessels in Grasshopper. 
• I "baked" the designs into Rhino, adjusted (i.e. Cap, ExtrudeSrf (top) 10 mm, BooleanUnion, Copy, Split, ExtrudeSrf (cross section of half vessel), DupFaceBorder), and exported the objects to stereolithography files. 
• I uploaded the stereolithography files into Slic3r and 3D printed the vessels (full and half of each design) with PLA filament.  
• I laser cut match-plates (using the DupFaceBorder curve in Rhino).
• I cast two-part molds in plaster for each design.

Below are screenshots of my definitions, renders, and photos of the 3D printed mold positives.
