2020 - Present
Explored advanced fabrication techniques through form experimentation and machine modifications to produce novel geometries and visual effects. Developed custom G-code using Grasshopper, implemented mixing nozzles for multi-color gradient printing, and modeled and fabricated complex pleated structures.
Contour Bowl 2D contours stack to create 3D geometry. Part printed on its side to eliminate stair-stepping and create smooth, continuous geometry.
Color Blend 2 colors blend directly in the printing nozzle to change color based on viewing angle
Weave Custom gcode generated in Grasshopper creates a woven effect
Pleat Modeled Miura folded paper effect
Mixing Nozzles Custom developed mixing nozzles to enable color variation and gradients within prints
Chainmail Printed chainmail behaves like fabric
Software
Fusion, Rhino, Grasshopper
