Technics

  • 3D dimensional geometries

Material

  • PLA

Tools

  • 3D Printer Maker2

Assignment Project Description

Each student can use a different technique to make a prototype of a technical textile application For this assignment you will require to build up your tools (container for molding, vacuum bag set up, frames, matrix, recipients) and process for your workflow.You can use any machine of the fab lab, laser cutter, 3D printer, CNC milling or make it manually. Tip: Give special importance to 3D dimensional geometries you are making and the technique you are using to create them.
