A group project by Ollie, Kiefer, Ian and Asa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideation<\/strong>
Our project’s goal was to create a machine that would be able to convert sounds into a three dimensional object. We were also really interested in creating a machine that could be a tool that creates, and wanted to make the process somewhat adaptable so that other tools and materials could be swapped in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our initial ideas took us on several different routes and we settled on creating a laithe that would be able to carve into a cylinder of clay. It took a while to figure out the forms in which each part of our machine would take, as we were starting from scretch with the only pre made parts being the motors, belt gears, and metal bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process<\/strong>
The creation of the machine had many hiccups, and each part took several iterations to work, and some several more to work with other parts. Working out the GH file and firefly took a while too, as did calibrating the firmware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D Printing in progress: Our 3D models are rather big so it usually takes around half a day to completion :'(<\/p>\n\n\n\n
