Family of Planters 3.0

Family of Planters is a parametrically designed line of planters.

Every plant has different sun or shading needs. People usually use half-shades and screens to protect outdoor plants as well as window pots. These elements are not always well designed, so I am proposing a system where the shade is incorporated to the planter. These products will accommodate 5 different shade requirements for various plant species.

Here you can watch the video of the grasshopper file definition and take a look at the presentation. Enjoy!

Bracelets

I printed bracelet, it’s on scale and fits very nicely.

The total printing time was three hours, but I have been washing it since last Sunday!

I also tried to think about five family member bracelets. My idea is to start with the simple one and show how the shape changes and wraps outside.

Successful 3D Printed Cup!

Can’t make it to class today but…

3D Print Cup

I was able to print a cup and actually make it hold liquid– rum in this case ;) It holds almost exactly 1 oz and stands about 2″ tall. The last cup I printed had holes in the base. Using my Grasshopper definition and a bit of editing in Rhino, I was able to make a solid object that printed successfully in 3 hours on the Dimension printer on campus.
