Experiment 1 (test) contd: Rapid prototyping * II



Okay, news back from 3D printer is that previous.stl file outputted by GC was readable and renderable, but the dimensions of the cross-ber members were too small for printing successfully. They were at around 1.5mm and the difficulty was that it was also a curved object. Solution: increase size of any members of a model to be at least 2mm
Alternative: There is a 3d Wax printing service offered at Palloys - a casting place using lost wax method for jewellers.
Alos part of the solution: putting .stl into 3D Max at final stage to ensure scaling is correct

The next file will be based on the dance notation images.Using parametric modeling, a number of variations of the form will be enabled from the one model.
