Starting to come together

 Our group project is coming along now. we finalized the design so we are just making the shelves and a chair. We did a test cut of the maze pattern on the cnc so we could see how it looked and it turned out pretty well. We still have to cut the real deal out and build and paint it but I think we can do it. 


edit. I also made a chart so we could figure out who can do cncing, painting, or building before the final day on april 8.

The final stretch

 We're almost done the group project :). We cut out and sanded the bench pieces and cut out part of the pieces for the shelves. It was a little trail and error with the tabs and sizing for the shelves but after making some adjustments in grasshopper and rhino we were able to get it done. It took a few hours for the tabs and holes because I did them partly in rhino and partly in grasshopper. I manually placed all the holes for the interior corners and adjusted the sizes to fit the thickness of the wood in rhino. Then I took the pieces into grasshopper and adjusted the thickness. It took a bit of time for it to load because of all the pieces. Thanks to Jess for making the tab grasshopper and Daniela for double checking my work.  The nested shelving unit. Daniela added some channels for the eventual addition of tables.  My edits to the grasshopper, changed the thickness and brepped the shapes from the rhino adjustments.  For some reason the list item didn't wanna work for the corn

glitched coffee table furniture design

 So my plan changed from the footstool as I was having trouble making soft edges and rotating the pockets to face outwards rather than just up. so I changed gears and instead made a coffee table with randomly generated cubes to form the top of it. the legs and and cubes are fully adjustable with the design.  I was inspired to make it look like a glitch because its fun to blend the digital realm and reality together. It  would also make an interesting statement piece. Though maybe not for a house with children because of all the sharp corners.  Its not often that you see furniture trying to escape its own form. This statement coffee table could be found in any modern or Avant guard living room.  In reality I see this piece being made out of wood or molded plastic.  Here is a scale view and the glitched coffee table by itself Here it is in a plastic material and an animation of the tabletop and the grasshopper definition
