Midterm




For the midterm you should have:
1. Your 3D printed Neck-it project.  

 2. 3D printed linkage samples

 3. Full print renders of Neck-it project on a model (photoshop/montage similar to last semester) 

 4. If you do not have your print you mush have 4 color prints of renders and full layout drawings that are labeled with dimensions and relevant information (name date etc) 

 5. As least 25 posts on your blog (failure to have 25 posts will result in a a half grade reduction on your final blog grade)

 6. Neck it files must be uploaded into your google drive folder the day of the midterm
























































SCULPTRIS


HERE ARE A FEW PRO TIPS WITH SCULPTRIS


CTRL CLICK ON OBJECT TO PAINT ON MASK

CTRL CLICK OFF OF OBJECT TO REVERSE MASKING

CTRL DRAG WINDOW TO RELEASE THE MASKING

CTRL D TO MASK ALL

CTRL ALT PAINT TO REMOVE MASKING

SHIFT SCROLL TO REDUCE BRUSH SIZE

CTRL SCOLL TO ADJUST STRENGTH OF TOOL

ALT RIGHT CLICK DRAG TO MOVE

DONT FORGET ABOUT SYMMETRY!!!!

WATCH YOUR POLYGON COUNT (20,000 IS THE NUMBER, IT CAN BE LARGER BUT....)

MOVE BACK AND FORTH MODELING BETWEEN LOW POLY COUNT AND HIGH POLYCOUNT 

LOW POLY COUNT TO ROUGH OUT SHAPES

HIGH POLY COUNT FOR DETAILS

Like a rolling stone







…like a rolling stone! (four-week project)

Assignment brief: 
                
Using Rhino (not Rhino Gold) and our in house ASIGA 3D printers to model a wearable piece that will accept a stone or multiple stones. Try to push the advantages that come from using 3D printing versus traditional hand skills.  

Learning outcomes:           

Students will learn advanced modeling techniques in Rhino for the Form1, ASIGA and Shapeways in order to design, 3D print, cast and finish a wearable piece that will accept precious/semi precious stones.   

Skills list: 

Rhino: Modeling for stone-setting. Flow along surface,

Shapeways: 

Material options, Wax printing versus precious metal printing

Casting: 

In house versus out of house, casting versus fabricating. Advantages versus disadvantages
                                                     
Basic stone knowledge, Stone setting at the bench, laser welding
                 
Measuring stones, modeling settings, calculating for shrinkage, modeling in sprues.

Concept:               

Creating a wearable piece that takes advantage of 3D printing to better understand setting stones using a digital output workflow

Research:              

John Cogswell: Creative Stone Setting Find settings for inspiration, Field trip to Stachura, In house collection of stones

Questions:              

How can you use 3D printing in a way that pushes stone setting?  Or wearability?
Can it be made by hand?
What is the advantage of making it with a 3D printer?
Which stones will deliver your conceptual content more effectively
Is there a more effective/creative way to set stones using 3D printing?


Expectations:  
     
A wearable piece that takes advantage of in house 3D printing technology to include stones that are relevant to conceptual content. Tests
and mock-ups are required.  Multiple prints and castings may need to be made.  With this and all projects for this course renders and spec drawings will be turned in.

RULE OF THIRDS

http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/cad-modeling-prong-settings.htm

































The Mohs scale of mineral hardness was created by German mineralogist, Friedrich Mohs, in 1822 to measure the relative hardness or scratch resistance of various minerals. He based it on ten readily available minerals. As it is an ordinal scale, two minerals must be compared to decide which is harder. The scale is neither linear nor logarithmic. For example, corundum is twice as hard as topaz, but diamond is almost four times as hard as corundum.


The hardness of a material is measured against the scale by finding the hardest material that that the given material can scratch, or the softest material that can scratch the given material.


Mohs' original scale is as follows:
HardnessMaterialAbsolute Hardness
1Talc (Mg3Si4O10(OH)2)1
2Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O)3
3Calcite (CaCO3)9
4Fluorite (CaF2)21
5Apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(OH-,Cl-,F-))48
6Orthoclase (KAlSi3O8)72
7Quartz (SiO2)100
8Topaz (Al2SiO4(OH-,F-)2)200
9Corundum (Al2O3)400
10Diamond (C)1500

To give some examples from everyday life,
a fingernail has a hardness of 2;
a copper penny, about 3;
a knife blade, 5;
window glass, 5.5;
and a steel file, 6.5.
