Group 03 { Digital Fabri-Cast }
Building & Modelling // Digital Techniques // Public Interaction // 3D Printing
Atelier: Re-Map
Day 5. Only hands did the talking today. Experimenting with variety of materials, 3D moulds and techniques.
Posted 12 May 2014 02:18
After choosing the final design we were given an introduction to 3d printing.
Posted 11 May 2014 22:50
Components assembled using no glue or any other sort of connectors.
Posted 11 May 2014 22:45
First exercise: Individually create 2d/3d components using simple model making materials.

Day 5
Today we experimented with a variety of materials for the moulds and the components. We tested out plaster, resin and latex to see which one would be the most appropriate for our purpose.

Day 5 // Afternoon session // Materials testing // Plaster, resin and latex.

Day 1 // Making sketch models // We were asked try not to connect components together with glue, so I was thinking maybe we can cut holes in the component and connect them with a wire structure.
Posted 9 May 2014 16:13
Day 1 // Making sketch models // Rhombus interlocking with each other.
Posted 9 May 2014 16:00
Day 2 // Morning session // Rhino Tutorial // Learning basic commands such as Scale, Extrude, Array etc.

The first mould broke because the temperature in the printer was not the same all the time, and it started distorting. The second one came out perfectly after we wrapped the printer in a towel.

Day 5 (9/5/14) : Experimenting with different casting materials; resin, latex and plaster.

Before starting printing we were given a tutorial on how to use "Replicator G" in order to produce the final product
Posted 9 May 2014 14:17
Today we tried printing test models using a 3d printer and we successfully printed one mould.

3D printing moulds and components to experiment with materials and casting later

On Tuesday we had a session learning the basics of Rhino 3D. After lunch we used these skills to create a quick 3D model of Farnsworth House, then applying whatever materials were available just to test out how rendering worked.

Rhinoceros model of the mould. There will be 2 of the same mould stuck on top of each other and the plaster will be poured in through the whole at the end.
Posted 9 May 2014 12:50
Day 3 (7/5/14) : Developing the chosen models, figuring out how to connect the modular elements and form an intriguing (and possible) installation to place on site.
Posted 9 May 2014 12:20
Day 4- All working hard on creating our components ready to create our negative moulds to 3D print for tomorrow.
Posted 8 May 2014 15:16
Day 4 : Grasshopper workshop by Patrick Drewello on basic function
Posted 8 May 2014 12:42
Brainstorming for a simple form that could generate a large scale figure, a wall or maybe pavilion, shed.
Posted 8 May 2014 10:13
Day 3 - From being split into groups we each chose a design to develop on Rhino this is our development.
Posted 7 May 2014 18:36
I put in use the shortlisted model shapes from today's activity and the techniques from yesterday's tutorials and came up with this digitally casted installation.
