CALENDAR: (subject to change)

Feb 21st

Class introductions, digital calipers, Rhino review, creating models for output, closed geometry, creating links, joints, uploading to Shapeways, filling holes, dissecting clasps and making them work for 3D printing, discuss timelines, translating real world measurements into Rhino. Overlapping geometry, flow along curve, flow along surface, Boolean difference for links, Build space, 650 × 350 × 550 mm, take advantage of 3D printing (nesting parts, universal joints, impossible shapes, linkages etc.) 3D printable materials

Intro NECK IT
