This week in class we were shown to the world of three-dimensional printing, more specifically 3D printed objects that are self supporting. For those who don't know three-dimensional printing is the process of slicing a design/object into hundreds if not thousands of layers, depending on the size of the design, and have those layers all be made on a 3D printer that uses melted plastic to stack up all of these layers. Most printed objects are made using supports that are removed after the design is printed, this is because if they did not have supports the design would collapse. Self supported 3D objects are made without the use of support, hence where the name comes from.
We were tasked with generating no less than ten concepts on Rhinoceros 5, to view my concepts see the images below. I wanted to experiment lots with all of my concepts for this project, I made sure that all of my designs looked completely different from each other. I chose to have some concepts be very clean and organized, while others are lopsided and uneven. Keep in mind that these are concepts that were made very quickly, and as such most of them have slight flaws and are most likely subject to change in the future. In future posts I will have more professional and finished products.
