![]() ![]() Talking about computer generated models and file formats, there are many ways: one of the most common, used by several popular software like Blender or Google Sketchup, is using polygon meshes to describe the model outer surface. ![]() The algorithmic methods are best suited both to achieve high model precision and to reproduce serially similar models. The “manual method” handbooks are inspired by the traditional plastic arts manuals, where you manipulate a material up to get it to the desired shape in algorithmic modeling, instead, you describe the object with programming techniques. A 3D model can also be obtained by scanning a real object. I also glued the top on.There are two 3D modeling techniques: manual and algorithmic. Sides together so that I could transport itĮasily. We used a few clamps to make sure that everything To my surprise, most of the joints held up great! Finally, we sanded theįront and back sides with a round sander and prepared Work! I had a LOT of hekp, since we had to punch outĪll the cutouts (which was fine), but then we had to Removing the onion skin layer was a lot of That can be stripped off later (although that ended upīeing quite a pain). To the design and had the mill only cut partially the In order to eliminate this in the future, we went back The drill bit caught onto one of the design cut-outs. We had to stop the mill a couple minutes in because I also had to make theĬut-outs smaller so that there was a couple inchesīetween the border and the design. Outs because they were too small and the drill bit Vacuum so that the board does not have to be drilled Since my design was rather complicated, andĬonsisted of a lot of intricate cuts, I used the CNC The top was 12.5 inches, so there would be a little bit of extra material on the top. The dimensions of the bases were a height of 30 inches, and a width of 12 inches (to match the plant stand that I have at home). The circle radius should be the bit size, so that my radius was the bit size over 2. Since the milling machine can't make close corners, we add a small circle to the joints. I misunderstood the "dog-bone" design and placed the circles too far away from joint. ![]() ![]() With joints, but I thought this might be too difficult. I initially wanted to have the top also connected Has a nice description of all kinds of joints. OpenSCAD, which has no idea what points are, I added Because CNC routers cannotĬut sharp corners I added a "dog-bone" joint with Plant stand, and then use wood glue to put the top in I decided to use joints for the frame base of the Have been using OpenSCAD for almost all of my 3D The first attempts looked really nice though! I I found someone's existing open-source code underīut I would have to agument it a bit to fit the The subset or partitions are referred toĪs Voronoi cells and they make really nice patterns. Partition a plane according to the distance of points In math, a Voronoi diagram is a way to split up and Sure that the sides could be connected with box Would be a great challenge! I also wanted to make Then I thought I should examine what kind of I found a few interesting ideas online, but Plant that is slightly too big to sit on my windowĪnymore. Plant stand, specificially for my fabulous aloe vera So my original thought was to make some sort of To do some cool maps designs, if there is time. But I amĪlso interested in using the ShopBot 3-axis CNC router Our machinerary of choice is the Shaper OriginĪt the International Design Center (IDC). Requirements for this assignment are to make somethingīig. For this assignment we have been given a 48x96 inch ![]()
