Research & Ideation

This week marked my first venture into designing for 3D printing on fabric. We started with an introduction to the history of 3D printers, exploring examples to inspire our work. Additionally, we got familiar with essential tools like Rhino and Grasshopper and learned about setting up the printer, the temperatures needed for different materials, and other technical aspects necessary to start the process.

References & Inspiration

To find inspiration, I started by looking for ideas on Pinterest and exploring various tutorials on creating patterns in Rhino. Although I initially tried to use Grasshopper for this purpose, I found it difficult to connect with the designs I was trying to create, and not fully mastering the software made me doubt the results. After trying several approaches that didn’t meet my expectations, I decided to forgo Grasshopper and focus solely on designing in Rhino. So, I took a drawing I had made earlier in the week and tried to bring it to life

Step one

I made different designs in Rhino but kept the same phrase

Tools

First i did one slace and after i put the fabric

preparation

then i put the fabric.
