Material and texture tests organised.

comparing the actual model with the rhino model.

experimentation with alginate and different textures,
Posted 14 May 2014 12:23
we decided to experiment with concrete by estimating ratios and checking the casting time.
Posted 14 May 2014 12:22
we tested a lot of moulds with different materials, textures, and finalised what material and texture we would use for the final construction model.
Posted 14 May 2014 12:20
We also tried using materials to give texture to our moulds so that they get printed onto our components as well.
Posted 13 May 2014 13:26
We tried to experiment with concrete casts and weighed the pros and cons of using it.
Posted 13 May 2014 13:23
Since our previous attempts at the plaster components failed, we tried to use other materials to cast into the moulds.
Posted 13 May 2014 13:22
We built an arch out of cardboard for support, but it was too huge to build, so we scrapped the idea and moved on to something else.

Another group's component printed.

3D printed my component.
Posted 12 May 2014 11:06
2 moulds made.

Material Testing // plaster. resin, latex.

we learnt how to 3D print using a 'Replicator G' code
Posted 12 May 2014 11:02
Before starting printing we were given a tutorial on how to use "Replicator G" in order to produce the final product

This is a photo taken during the printing process.

Today we tried printing test models using a 3d printer and we successfully printed one mould.

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.
Posted 7 May 2014 16:22
In the afternoon, we tried 3D modelling it on the Rhinoceros 3D software.
Posted 7 May 2014 15:05
Day 3 - Today morning, we all presented our ideas to everyone and the shortlisted s few models to create digitally later in the afternoon.

Day 1 - thinking, making sketch models, analogue models, Thinking about connections, shapes, scale, form, 2D and 3D, avoiding the obvious.
It was an interesting and busy Day 1
