Digital Making: Bowl

WEEK ONE: BOWL

Started by sheering the metal into a perfect circle shape, then mark the circle metal into different sections as the diagram shows.

Next step is to put the metal on the wooden base with an even sunken spot, then smashed it from the out circle, moved around it with even strength. Repeated until the basic shape of the bowl is finished.

Took the bowl into the English wheel and even the angle out.

Here comes the result:

Assignment 2: Tank: making the metal skin+ final photos

Preview division from last blog: Individually, part one is the one i'm working on. It is basically a blister form, so we marked the top shape with paper, then make a blister template as the starting point. Equipment involved: Guillotine, English Wheel, Tinsnips, Metal Clamps, Round Nylon Headed Mallet, Flat Nylon Headed Mallet, Shrinker Stretcher, Sandbag, Masking tape. Material involved: MDF, Aluminum Sheet several stages i have been through to make the metal skin of part one: Blister(stage one): Set up of the blister template Jin and Jeremy helped me a lot by the foundation shape making. Thank you my group members they are the best! The basic form of the shape is determined by the blister, then I hammered it on the sandbag into a bowl shape in order to further develop its shape. Free forming using the template (stage two): found the tricky part to work on: the front p...

Assignment 2: Tank (intro+file preperation)

Project two brief : create a 1:1 scale template replicating the motorcycle fuel tank as a group, then individually create an aluminium skin to adhere to a third of its contours. Group members: Our group has a good mix of architectural students and industrial students, as we naming ourselves the 'Kloud Nine', we worked productively and enjoyed so much learning from each other. File preparation: At our first meeting, we decided using three different ways to create the template, then see which one works the best. Here is the meeting records by our member Lornia: After approaching these three methods and discussing, finally we decided to use the Laser cutting method to create a criss-crossed hollow 'Skeleton' model. Then we moved on to work on the 3d modelling steps, To be honest I did not involved too much on this step, Tauqir who is very professional about Rhino Grasshopper, as a leader he helped a lot in...
