This project was the process of taking two separate designs and mashing them together much like a few previous assignments that we have done. Where concept generation is the key and then amalgamating them is the final stage in completion. This time we will actually print them out with a 3D printer and create an object that has to follow rapid prototyping rules and guidelines. The end result will be a complete 3D shape.The expectation is to map out the form, function, 3D print-ability and whether it is self-supporting.
The shapes that have been generated for my project just focus upon the loft command in rhino with a much more organic and pottery like shape. Their roundness and gradual movement in form allows for the 3D print to actually be completed as a shape. (See my previous blog posts)
While mine are very Organic in structure Caffrey's are a bit more modeled and shaped and using a few more tools in rhino to create the partterning.
When we went through theses three sets of designs together there where a few differences of opinion upon the best way to approach this. Being as that was the case we both just took a class to remodel them into objects that we where more satisfied with. I had created only 2 mashups however Caffrey created about 5 (See his blog http://threedobjectdesign.blogspot.ca/)
These are my two shapes using more of the tools that Caffrey used.
After going through about 10 different shapes and iterations we had a few designs that seemed to be well put together and may be able to print. The final design was Caffrey's It included an altered design of the 3 main designs shown above, the ones that got put together where the ones on the right. These 2 design mad for a challenge and they where very dissimilar.
