| MODULARITY - HAND/CAP |¶

The main issue of modular systems is material leftovers and waste. The solution was to find a way how to reduce it as much is it possible. By using some kind of "tiles" we are able to change the gaps between them part of the geometry. So we can use each part of the system and implement it in the final design.

LASER CUTTING¶

Material Parametres¶

Material	Thickness	Laser cutter	Power	Speed	Cutting time
PUNTO ROMA	0.5 mm	x	25	1	20 min 8 s

Tutorials¶

Joints¶

three different types - 2 male joints with 2/3/4 female parts
three different types - 2 female parts / 2 male parts / 1 male and 1 female part

Step by step¶

Flexibility testing¶

Conclusion: stronger material is needed

Prototyping¶

2.type
3.type

Application¶

Modular geometry turned into jewellery or wearable objects with the function of emphasizeing parts of the human body that may be deformed by nature or accidents.

| NONWOVEN |¶

Development of zero waste - laser cutted wave pattern combined with "handcrafted" waving method. The aim of the pattern was to create a structure without waste material and nevertheless to create a new way of "woven technique".

2D prototyping¶

LYCRA 01 - Material Parametres¶

Material	Thickness	Laser cutter	Power	Speed	Cutting time
LYCRA	1 mm	x	20	1	2 min 10 s

LYCRA 02 - Material Parametres¶

Material	Thickness	Laser cutter	Power	Speed	Cutting time
LYCRA	3 mm	x	20	1	4 min 20 s

The wave pattern does not contain any waste material and it is laser cutted in one rectangle piece

LYCRA 03 - Material Parametres¶

Material	Thickness	Laser cutter	Power	Speed	Cutting time
PUNTO ROMA	0.5 mm	x	25	1	25 min 8 s

NONWOVEN METHOD¶

Steps¶

Wave after wave is intertwined with the top of the curve. We are also able to regulate the distance between the curves using a different connection system.

Prototyping¶

Flexibility testing¶

Conclusion: stronger material is needed, for example: thicker neoprene 2-3 mm, minimize the amount of gaps on the shoulders

KIMONO¶

new version (4 pieces with interconnected parts on the shoulders and sides, without sleeves)
