Assignment 10

                         

                        Ceramic 3D Print

Our final group project in OBDF was printing an object in ceramics.We were asked to come up with continuous flow print concepts. The model should be around 4 x 4 x 6 in in size.The object created need to be exported to .stl files. At first we were to use the same model we had used to print with the FDM printer. Then, this design was inspired from one of our team member (Emily). This is the rendered view of the object.

  

I was really excited to see how objects are printed with clay.The interesting part is to watch how it is printed in layers. Even the syringe filled with clay and knowing how different colours can be formed by mixing different chemicals with the clay.

Our final object waiting to get dried and later fired.

 

Thanks to Bryan for helping us with the 3D printer. It was great working in teams.

Assignment 9

3D Printed Object: Hybrid Design + FDM Print


Introduction of the project

We came up with the idea of how we communicate and how others interpret it. For me it was something related to face and expressions.It was William's idea to do something with the mouth 👄.Then the idea was like a vase with mouth as an opening which then opens to another mouth. Each mouth with different expressions. As our object doesn't have the hallow feature in it,we had to come up with an another idea.







My part was to create the bottom of the object with an open mouth.This is the rendered part of the bottom.




Print version:

Even though our object turned out not to be hollow form,but something like a cute vase.







Brainstorming sessions :

We came up with several ideas and mostly with human faces and expressions.Some of my contributions are like basket of expressions (5 faces to a basket) and mugface.







New Model for 3D printing :

As our main model failed , we just gave a try by combining these two objects and did Boolean difference.

Our final 3D object

Reflection of the project :
It was really amazing to work with William. I know that it is always challenging to work in a team, but really interesting to see how different ideas come together.We had put a great effort in coming up with hybrid object.

Assignment 8

3D Printed Hollow Form Object: Concept Generation

Some hollow form objects in Rhino using functions like extrudeCrv, taper, bend, twist, etc. It was interesting and amazing  to use these along with the loft command. My objects are a kind of simple and funky.Rendering was my favourite part. It makes a simple object into something wonderful. After seeing my objects, I felt like visiting an artifact store. :)

Papercraft Objects: Final Revision

   IGLOO (SNOW HOUSE)

Original Snow House:

Print template:

 

Final Paper model:

Last week's peers' critiques:

Some of my peer feedback for the prototype model was to make it more illuminating and add more detailing. My model had no opening to go inside via the entrance and no windows to make it more realistic. Based on this feedback, I decided to make my igloo paper model using a translucent paper and to add details like ice blocks. The illumination was done from under with  a LED lamp.  I have added more tabs to the leaves to stick from both sides to avoid the shadows as possible with minor shape distortion.Then I extended my tabs to touch the other side of the leaf, which worked quiet well.

Assignment 6

Papercraft Objects: First Phase Prototypes

IGLOO (Snow House)

                    Inuit people or Eskimos  built shelter of snow. These are built in the shape of an inverted paraboloid or catenoid to compress the pressure. I'm passionate about the Northern Lights,  snow and  Igloos. Getting a chance to spend a day in an Igloo is like a dream come true. The diameter of a normal Igloo is approximately 3m. My model is in ratio 1:24.

                    Using Rhinos I have made 10 different leaf shaped pieces for the Dome and glued them together. I found  this project really fascinating. This idea was inspired from Bryan Cera's Sphere model which was shown in the class.

 

Assignment 5

Papercraft Samples using Rhinoceros 5 

This project was really challenging and time consuming for me maybe due to lack of technical ideas or so. For this I made a toolbox some nuts and nails along with a hammer. Then tried some shapes with polygon which I found really challenging to unfold them.Then made a funny bus and finally a lamp which I couldn't unfold it correctly.
