Recitation 9: Digital Fabrication

An amazing job, with Nomun!

 

Starting with designing. 

After trying the basic functions of https://cuttle.xyz/dashboard , I found a wonderful pattern — a spiral. So I started from their. I can still remember the first time I saw this pattern, an image of a wing came to my mind. It has three spirals, and I decided to repeat the graphic third times–perhaps it was just a coincidence–hard to tell the feelings of inspirations.

Since we didn’t finish the design part before the end of the recitation, we had to continue it and use the laser cutting later. To be honest, that was not a bad thing–for the first time, we tried the fabrication lab’s website and booked an appointment with a lab assistant. Though we finally failed to find the assistant, we were so luck to get help from prof. Andy.

He also helped us adjust the size and of the graphics we designed. One thing worth mentioning is that, we should keep those inportant parameter of elements in mind, such as the center circle/rectangle’s size–it should be fixed however the size of the graphic changes.

Finally! Amazing work! Like a magic windmill! I love it!
