I recently developed some measuring spoon models. The math and basic design were, surprisingly, the easy part. Attempting to realize an idealistic design within the constraints of the real-world was a bit more difficult and ended up being the majority of the work. The design itself is fairly simple. Maybe you remember the volume of … Continue reading Parametric Measuring Spoons

It also pushed my meager abilities to the limits due to the organic curves and overall shape. The proportions are a bit off, it’s lacking the … Continue reading More imagery from the 3rd dimension

What you bring … Continue reading From atoms to bytes and back again

I’d like to design my own objects in bits and bytes, as well as have a better understanding of the object files for download at Thingiverse. I’d then like … Continue reading I made a 3D!
