===== WEEK 2 ===== ===== DIGITAL BODIES ===== {{ :fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:info1png_1.png?nolink&500x666 }} ---- ====== OBJECTIVES ====== Use software to obtain a body-figure and a digital fabrication process to produce it (the production happens in groups of 3-4) ---- ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== 3D SCANNING ==== I wanted to scan myself to use that for my final project. This is how the process went: === 1. MARKING MYSELF === Because I wanted to use this work for my final project, I asked a friend of mine, Pilar, who is a teacher at fashion college to put the marks we usually put on the mannequins. I dressed with tight clothes so they didn't generate a problem during the scannig (not my finest fashion statement moment!) She also took my measurements. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:22308746_10155845077315452_1141382299767969061_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22308746_10155845077315452_1141382299767969061_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:22366443_1393908320658879_1440846705216070113_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22366443_1393908320658879_1440846705216070113_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:22228510_1393908173992227_5656130180266117218_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22228510_1393908173992227_5656130180266117218_n.jpg}} ==== 2. FIRST SCANNING PROCESS ==== Carlos, Eldy and I started the scanning process with the 3d scan we have in the lab which is this one: {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:22228438_1393908603992184_3347982214251788474_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22228438_1393908603992184_3347982214251788474_n.jpg}} And we started: {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:22279942_1393908080658903_6873815917203041386_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22279942_1393908080658903_6873815917203041386_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:22228467_10155845077595452_8407852335182616688_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22228467_10155845077595452_8407852335182616688_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:22279547_1393908167325561_2826414205210645906_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22279547_1393908167325561_2826414205210645906_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:22221533_1393908163992228_8970758710606755356_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22221533_1393908163992228_8970758710606755356_n.jpg}} We try going around me many times, but we couldn´t get a solid scan. Many parts of the body weren´t been read, like the calfs, my back, etc. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:22196514_10155845077555452_7099663894169086126_n.jpg?nolink&300x225|22196514_10155845077555452_7099663894169086126_n.jpg}} ===== 3. SECOND SCANNING PROCESS ===== After this, we decided to go to make a try with a different scanner. We went to Universidad de Lima with Carlos, while Eldy kept trying with the scanner at ESAN. This is the scanner they have: {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:scaning_ul:22196449_10154733938085740_3453753793403326303_n.jpg?nolink&150x113|22196449_10154733938085740_3453753793403326303_n.jpg}} So I had to get in costume again, this scanner dosen´t read hair, so I had to add a hat! It also works with targets. So we changed the lines for this stickers, you have to put targets all over the body you want to scan and it finds 4 points and relates them, this is how it defines the volume it´s working with. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:scaning_ul:22308726_1393908000658911_4388401462648367638_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22308726_1393908000658911_4388401462648367638_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:scaning_ul:22221721_1393907993992245_5426818668488910451_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22221721_1393907993992245_5426818668488910451_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:scaning_ul:22221970_10154733938100740_439493308041882010_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22221970_10154733938100740_439493308041882010_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:scaning_ul:22228459_1393907923992252_4080821272656988778_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22228459_1393907923992252_4080821272656988778_n.jpg}} This targets are quite expensive, one box of 500 costs around 100 dolars :S !

I´m going to try to make them myself, any recommendations? ==== 4. ELDY SCAN ==== While Carlos and I were in Universidad de Lima, Eldy kept trying with the scanner at ESAN and at the end she manage to get a body. All the detail of the process is in her page. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:eldy_scan:22221584_1393907120658999_3994736492117695587_n.jpg?nolink&300x225|22221584_1393907120658999_3994736492117695587_n.jpg}} {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:eldy_scan:22308796_10154733938985740_2553681617128134524_n.jpg?nolink&300x400|22308796_10154733938985740_2553681617128134524_n.jpg}} ===== 5. DEFINING WORKFLOWS ===== Because it´s a group assignment, we sat down to plan how to move forward. We decided to use Eldy´s body scan for the rest of the assignment. The idea was to use different techniques from the lab to create an interpretation of a body figure. So we talk of how to mix this techniques and make is aesthetic sense. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:group_work_1_phase:22279773_1393907203992324_1458664591011284477_n.jpg?nolink&200x267|22279773_1393907203992324_1458664591011284477_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:group_work_1_phase:22221561_1393907127325665_8945663609295800542_n.jpg?nolink&200x267|22221561_1393907127325665_8945663609295800542_n.jpg}} From that conversation I desgined the piece: {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:group_work_1_phase:captura_de_pantalla_2017-10-08_a_las_10.46.54_p.m..png?nolink&200x363}} The idea is to use the slicer software to create a body figure, -The first phase (from the feet to the tights) would be made of plywood cut in the shoopbot. - The second phase ( from the legs to the head) in the same structure in acrylic cut in the laser cutter. -The third phase (the side, front and back) will be made done with the folding tool of the slicer, then cut it in cardboard and that would be use as a mold for a resin composite mix with fabric. ====== 6. DIVIDING THE WORK ====== With that plan we divided chores. Eldy (in her page) -worked on the slicer file Carlos (in his page) -worked on the folding file - Testing of the carbboard folding on the laser cutter - Send the scale Eldy figure to 3d printing Me -Testing for the joints on the shopbot - Composites work ====== 7. SOFTWARE DESIGN ====== The 3D scanning was worked first in RHINO, we modify the scanning so it had a base to stand in.

JOINT TESTING ====== We decided to test how the pieces will fit between them, for that we made a file on Autocad, the plywood is 12mm, so we try with 12, 12.3. 12.5, 12.7 Then I took the file to the VCARVE software, which is the sofware of the Shopbot. At the end, the better fit was: 12/12 (we made the cutting from the outside of the line) I had use this machine before, but one forgets the details, so I went to my documentation site and Carlos Silva (our mentor) to track the steps.

ACRYLIC/PLYWOOD JOINTS TEST ====== As we did with the plywood, we decided to make a test to see how much space was needed between the joints, considering that the materials may act differently. We try the thickness of the plywood, 1, 2, and 3 millimeters more. At the end the better fit was 11.7 mm with our 12.1 plywood. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:joints_acrylic:22308682_10154739146165740_6670773202278083542_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22308682_10154739146165740_6670773202278083542_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:joints_acrylic:22281719_10154739146040740_5642606605950025056_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22281719_10154739146040740_5642606605950025056_n.jpg}} ====== 10. STICH TESTING ====== For the part that we work with the folding tool of the Slicer, we decided to use like a thin acrylic/plastic material (cant´find the name in english) We wanted it to fold both ways but don´t break, so we did a test for this as well. First I worked on Illustrator making dash lines of different lengths and gaps. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:captura_de_pantalla_2017-10-09_a_las_3.32.34_p.m..png?nolink&298x150}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:captura_de_pantalla_2017-10-09_a_las_3.32.40_p.m..png?nolink&438x150}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:captura_de_pantalla_2017-10-09_a_las_5.20.09_p.m..png?nolink&471x150}} {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:22281779_10154739146195740_39369577852356687_n.jpg?nolink&267x200|22281779_10154739146195740_39369577852356687_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:22279904_10154739146200740_6726680323269732040_n.jpg?nolink&267x200|22279904_10154739146200740_6726680323269732040_n.jpg}} {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:22279907_10154739146330740_5890017305769813977_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22279907_10154739146330740_5890017305769813977_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:22405662_10154739146385740_6945911261023015681_n.jpg?nolink&150x200|22405662_10154739146385740_6945911261023015681_n.jpg}}{{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:22282108_10154739146435740_257375779966640413_n.jpg?nolink&267x200|22282108_10154739146435740_257375779966640413_n.jpg}} That test was very useful to see how far/close must be the dash lines, after folding the test piece, I chose 6/12 pattern. {{:fabricademy2017:students:alexandra_roldan:week_2:stich_testing:captura_de_pantalla_2017-10-09_a_las_5.23.24_p.m..png?nolink&465x300}} I opened the AUTOCAD files on ILLUSTRATOR and used dropper tool to change the folding lines to the measurements of the testing file. ====== 11.
