    fractals

    yes, it's already doing the trick really, more and more I start to fragment things a bit more, not really fractal like, but more faceted, sometimes organic.

    it's a very interesting approach indeed, Neri Oxman already told the same kind of thing of going back to nature and putting the focus more on the process of things:

     

    What do you use it for?

    I'm merely testing things out at the moment as a rookie with more abstract studies that you can find here.

    I hope in time to have some more insight into this field and it's possibilities and maybe some more functional design in the end.

     

    Thank you for your reply. What was your goal when you decided to buy an Ultimaker? Did you already have a thought on what direction you will be heading after your abstract studies? Functional things for in the house, or? Saw the thread by the way, looking good! Curious to see where this is headed!

     

    Well, I'm curious about it too :) I'm having a great time with those abstract studies, but now my first more functional pieces are there as well.

    It's great to transform a 3D image into a object, that's for sure. Great for testing things out for design, and art wise it has a lot of potential.

    I first came into contact with 3D printing around 15 years ago, but I just couldn't afford it. Now that it's becoming an emerging market I see a lot of potential:

    - a breakaway in time from traveling objects across the world towards traveling virtual plans

    that you print at home?

    - the chance of trowing some objects/designs into this virtual world for free, just to see how that one goes really :)

    - etc.

    Anyway, I'm having a great time exploring this field with that ultimaker, that's for sure :)

    Hi all,

    someone pointed me towards this very interesting video the other day about playing around with new forms/fractals.

     

    pretty amazing if you ask me :)

    More and more I see options to go back to nature for answers, and strangly so (paradoxically?) trough the use of a computer.

    Like we are slowly embedding computed calculations more and more as part of our own in the process of designing.

    One remark though, those collums still needs steel support from the inside, so it still has no structural value, a reason sorta speak to do this.

    at the moment this has more a baroque like decorative value that you paste on to these structures.

    But it's an eye opener to say the least towards possibilities. Maybe one day we have computed structural solutions this way? (maybe with the aim to reduce material even more?)

    thanks @cloakfiend, I'll take that into consideration. I got a way to thin thingy lying around as well.

    for these abstract thingy's I make at the moment I don't look at scaling too much, except for the fact that I model them way too big at the moment. I have to scale them down significantly.

    But so far so good with the no infill, great to reduce some filament usage!
