Robotics: Light Bright
Light Bright is an innovative exercise where Rhino and Grasshopper scripts are used to create complex 3D shapes, integrating robotics to bring digital designs to life. The process involves using GPT-generated code, which is inputted into Rhino and Grasshopper and then executed by a robotic arm, translating the designs into physical forms. This approach challenges traditional design methods and expands the possibilities for exploring the intersection of technology and creativity, empowering designers to push the boundaries of 3D design and fabrication.
Robotics: Hot Wire
Similar methods of design used in Light Bright applied to Hot Wire, inputted in Rhino and Grasshopper, which translates the digital designs into physical reality. Through trial and error, created pathways that allow the structural integrity of foam cubes and This process not only challenges conventional design methods but also opens up new avenues for exploring the intersection of technology and creativity. Through Light Bright, designers are empowered to unleash their imagination and push the boundaries of what is achievable in the realm of 3D design and fabrication.
Robotics: CNC
Using another fabrication technique, drilling machines were used to form an object based on criteria pertaining to the meticulous planning of dimensioning and cutting different pieces of the project including the wall, base/cap and the foam crown. Trial and error was taken to form ridges in the wall to allow it to bend without cracking.
Robotics: 3D Printing
The exercises in 3D printing aimed to provide students with familiarity of CAD software such as Rhino and Pursa slicer. As a final project Students were tasked in groups of three to form a 3D print out cast model which then would then be filled with plaster to result in an object of an interesting shaped surfaces. Inverse thought process and active communication/ development were key to the success of this project.
