6. Computational Couture

This week has started with understanding 3D prnter in depth as each 3d printer can be helpful for secific tasks and felemens have variety. What is espicial on this week is using some computational softwares for design such as Rhino and Grasshopper to make geometries ,shapes and hack the 3d printer to print on fabric. " there are some 3D printer you meight use if intrested in textile print and designedd to be freindly for fabric such as " Bamboo 3D printer " however in lab have other 3d printers such as Ultimaker and could used on fabric with some hacking method will be explained later here.

Lab Referances for 3D- print on fabric

Mesh , TPU , PLA

TPU : Is great for printing flexible objects that can be bend and free-design. it used in many industry even the medicine feild. the nice news it is used today in 3d-printed textile . Intrestead to read about TPU? Click Here

PLA : Considered sustainable matrerial to be used with 3d printing as it known as biodegradable thermoplastic.as it made from made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. to read more Click Here

  1. Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster together, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.

  2. remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :)

This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation. Remove tips when you don't need them anymore!

footnote fabrication files

Fabrication files are a necessary element for evaluation. You can add the fabrication files at the bottom of the page and simply link them as a footnote. This was your work stays organised and files will be all together at the bottom of the page. Footnotes are created using [ ^ 1 ] (without spaces, and referenced as you see at the last chapter of this page) You can reference the fabrication files to multiple places on your page as you see for footnote nr. 2 also present in the Gallery.

3D Models

upload the 3d models of MakeHuman, Final 3d modelled body, 3D Scans, etc use the fabrication files at the bottom of the page to link and upload models, referencing them with a footnote
