Assignment Four

Brief: Design and produce a 3D model consisting of minimum 2 separate parts. The parts can be constructed using one or two combination manufacturing process (e.g. lasercut parts and 3D printed parts).  The model must occupy a bounding box with dimensions: 204mm x 226mm x 200mm

For the fourth assignment for experimental modelling, I wanted to create a 3D geometry that was interchangeable and could be assembled and recreated into different forms.

The main idea around creating square like shapes that can be assembled into differing forms was derived from the idea of an architectural wall that can be changed and transformed before, during and after instillation.  The main idea centred on clients having the ability to change wall patternations and designs.

The idea also applies to furniture and design ornaments.  The user has the ability to change and personalise their furniture and ornaments.

In order to achieve this is decided to create forms like the ones below.  It was important that the base shape was a tessellating pattern to allow for a more ability in creating many different forms.  Below are some images of what I wish to achieve.

I will be laser cutting the shapes to maximise the potential for etching patterns and symbols.
