Class 7 : Textile Scaffold

Origami Mold

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.

Origami Folding

Use Oripa for origami patern
Paper Folding

Origami cut folding Settings

The laser cutting of the paper makes folding easier and this time there are no more tearing problems.
