A Seat at the Table
Additive manufacturing allows for amazing geometries that cannot be created through traditional means. There are also distinct traits of the available methods of additive manufacturing currently, namely layer lines. These lines allow for strong tensile strength perpendicular to the lines, and weak strength when a parallel force is applied. Task 1: Digital Design The design…

Stacking Up
A common use of fabrication techniques is to turn a modeled 3D object file into something existing in physical space. This task of making a 3D file readable for the manufacturing process is known as “slicing” a model. This Post will go over the process of creating a parametric 3D model and then slicing it…
