[OBDF 310] Algorithmic Deposition Modelling 2/4

Work on toolpaths, print individual samples, plan collab object

     Progress update --> Week 2

This week, each member generated 3D printing paths (as G-code) for their models. We printed these samples on Wednesday. Along the way, we ran into a few obstacles. For example, some of us had a hard time grasping the real life scale from the CAD environment (some samples printed either smaller or larger than anticipated). Other problems included 1) trouble with the G-code, 2) backwards toolpaths, 3) height of first layer, and 4) challenges with toolpath planning.

More research (toolpath planning, collab object, etc.)

[OBDF 310] Algorithmic Deposition Modelling 1/4

Discuss ideas, work on individual samples 

     Overview

We're gonna use the clay 3d printer for this group project! Each member will create an experimental sample and contribute to a larger collaborative object design. We will be developing forms with continuous tool-paths in Rhino + Grasshopper.

My group members are Keven, Nicole, Brielle, and Sarah. This week, we talked about our personal practices and preliminary ideas for individual samples. See chart below:

Pointing out the visual relationships between images from conceptual and minimal art and those used in teaching tools, cognitive tests, etc. is at the root of my Instagram feed," 2019.
