2D Surface Design Study

For patterns I found around the house, I tried to just document the ones I see on a daily basis. Like around my workspace, bedroom, and plant that I'm trying to keep alive.

Fig 1. Keyholder basket

Fig 2. White purse

Fig 3. Spot pattern on an aloe vera plant

Fig 4. Lace pattern sweater

Fig 5. Belt stud pattern

Fig 6. Laundry basket pattern

Fig 7. Short-sleeve button-up shirt

Fig 8. Graduation Dress

Fig 9. Chinese embroidery throw pillow

Fig 10. Black purse

These are my pattern designs that are loosely inspired by the ten patterns I found in my house.

I have two ideas that were mainly inspired by the geometric and minimalistic style of some of these patterns. Then the detailing on them comes from the embroidery part of the pattern scavenger hunt.

3D Printed Object: Hybrid Design

Concept Generator: These were the outcomes of what I had for generating concept, some of mine wouldn't fully work when I really thought of how the 3D printer worked. Only the flat coned shape and 3 rings fully worked, and it matched with my groups' the most since their shapes were mainly in a cylinder-like. Combining Group Objects: I was in a group with Adam and Siwon. Out of our three designs, Adam's had the more sturdy base design so the 3D Printer could hold everything together. Siwon's design was a more decorative angled vase shape, like diamond-cut edges. My design, placing it into Slic3r separately, I could tell the rings immediately didn't look as sturdy as we wanted. So mine has the most changes or reconsideration in how that would end up printing. We had to make sure the rings interlock with the base and each other so that the printer would keep everything into one piece without falling apart mid-print. Initially, we had Siwon's in t...

Reverse Engg Object: HD Render and Exploded View

This reverse engineering project was about learning the tools of rhino by creating an object of our choice digitally. Using a calliper and precise measurements, we were to create a replica of a mechanical object to be pretty much exact. With the limitations of no organic or soft objects, no weapons, and must be complex/simple enough to finish within the three-week frame. I chose an old pair of scissors as my object to replicate. It started out simple, though it was harder than I thought to wrap my head around a pair of scissors than I thought. Maybe it was because I had a year break in between last year's 3D modelling and rendering, but for the smallest things, I couldn't process for hours. This project took at least 11.5 hrs to do. I got stuck in some places like the angled blade, curvature of the handles, and finding the smallest slip-ups that caused an open shape. I know I had drawn some parts separately but when I tried to assemble them and bo...

6) Parametric furniture Group Project (Final Week?)

Hello! This week has been hectic with exams and final projects going on. I believe our group hasn't done much cnc-ing since Friday. As of this moment that I'm writing this blog we have yet to begin the shelf from what I've heard. I've kept up with the Teams chat to see what's going on and if I could provide support digitally since the timing to meet up in person to sand and paint didn't work for me. The way our group split the workload, I was only in-charge of the digital portion of problem solving and designing. So this physical portion, I'm taking more of a back seat plus I'm busy with my studies since design students are still rushing their finals for an extra week compared to fine art kids. I contributed via Microsoft Teams chats this week. Update, during my class, people from team 2 have sanded and cnc-ed most if not all of the bench along with the first shelf piece.
