11.) BLOG POST: Outsourced Wearable Object

Post date: Nov 05, 2019 4:29:45 AM

Assignment Description:

Moving forward with one of our ring designs, we will finalize the model in Rhinoceros, and prepare our design for fabrication via Shapeways.com.

In addition, we will document our progression through this project in a new post on our process blog.

Assignment Requirements:

1.) Choose one concept, refine/revise as necessary to create a final 3D design for this project.

2.) Export a .STL (sterolithography format) file and upload to Shapeways.com (be sure your uploaded model's units match units from Rhino)

3.) Select a material for your design.

4.) Check your ring for any potential errors in Shapeway's "3D Tools" section (you'll use this for your blog post!)

5.) Document.

Documentation Requirements:

1.) Screenshots or sketches of your original 6 concepts (from class)

2.) Consideration of feedback from peer-to-peer discussion sessions (from Nov 4th)

3.) Screenshots of refined models (for 3 selected concepts)

4.) Proof sheet for 3 selected concepts

5.) Consideration of feedback from group discussions (on November 6th)

6.) HD renders of final design - from 3 (three) different perspectives

7.) Screenshot of your model having passed tolerance tests in Shapeway's 3D tools for your chosen material (see example below)

8.) Screenshot of wall thickness analysis "heatmap view" via Shapeway's 3D tools for your chosen material (see example below)

9.) Include a brief explanation/description for all visual documentation above

**Reminder: We will be placing orders during class time next week. It might be beneficial to combine orders with peers to save on shipping costs!
