For this project I experimented with computerized plotting on T-shirts using Micron brand drawing pens. To date this has been the most fun thing that I’ve made on my Multifab personal fabricator . I’m starting to think that fashion might be the under-explored killer app for personal fabrication.
I wanted to write a program that would generate different faces. I have started with the “tree” source code that Leah has provide for the embroidery machine toutorial. I was changing the properties untill I found the result close enough my idea. I picked up three random face-bases and I added the eyes in Adobe [...]
I struggled on what to do for this project as I kept considered doing a 3D print fabric. However, I’m somewhat satisfied with my experience on the embroidery machine as it did give me some ideas on how to tackle my final project. Through Processing, I made a (8 bit) Angel fish by using overlapping [...]
I have always been interested in patterns that were capable of change. For my Computational Design Project, I chose to design a circular pattern that could deform in shape and size. Using Grasshopper, which is a plug-in for Rhino, I used pre-determined values and a code to generate a 3 dimensional cylinder that expands and [...]
For this computational textile assignment I want to try the 3D printing textile. It is a good experience of learning! It is my first time to do 3D printing, and I am a new hand in Grasshopper. So the work is challenging. I started from studying the basic structure of weaving, and then tried my [...]
The pattern that I used to generate this code was a old data set that I modified to allow the results I wanted. The data set is a text file that is read by processing though the help of tabs. I acquired the data from a questioner I sent out to friends.
Inspired by the rotational artwork that I used to do when I was a kid, I wanted to create curves that could be rotated about a center point to form a piece of unique art.
I focused on the motif of a button because firstly I thought it was a simple object to work with and secondly I wanted it to appear as if one was continuously pulling open a drawer with loads of buttons shifting about inside. In the first version of the program, I had problems representing this [...]
How do you embed a song into clothing? With a combination of tactile textile sensing and computational embroidery, there is now a way. Building off of the images that I created from tapping my fingers to “Raise Your Glass” by the Glee Warblers, I decided to translate those images into an actual textile using computational [...]
Due: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 See student designs here For this assignment you will create a computationally generated textile pattern. You’ll write a program that generates a pattern and use the embroidery machine, laser cutter, knitting machine (or another CNC device, ie: a CNC loom or a 3D printer) to automatically produce the pattern.
