Modelling for 3D Fabrication – Rhino & 3D-Printing (York, Ca)

This course introduces students to the realm of digital object creation using advanced 3D design software and cutting-edge 3D scanning technologies, alongside exploring related conceptual concerns. For my second project, I embarked on crafting a distinctive memento commemorating my exchange semester in Toronto. This endeavor involved sculpting a playful scene featuring a globe flanked by iconic skyscrapers atop a whimsical rhinoceros base, symbolizing both my hometown and Toronto. Leveraging my familiarity with Rhino, I meticulously assembled and scaled various 3D models, incorporating Boolean operations and refining details to achieve a cohesive form. Transitioning to project two, I embarked on designing a custom sailing yacht tailored for transatlantic crossings. Challenges in modeling curved shapes and precision scaling were met with innovative approaches, including utilizing cardboard prototypes and delving into online resources for mastering Rhino’s tools. The culmination of this project promises to be both a 3D-printed sailboat and an augmented reality application, bringing my design to life.
