Laser Cut Wool Vest presentation Final Project: A professional style women’s vest with laser cut lace appliqué based on a vornoi digram of a lissajous curve and a prolate cycloid. The laser cut dresses are very delicate and would be difficult to wear. The goal of this project is to make a usable clothing item [...]
I used Matlab open source code to generate L-system diagrams and a few interesting dynamic systems and output a vector graphic. A selection of patterns produced are below. I ended up only printing a few L-system designs because of time constraints. I used green as the main thread and purple on the bobbin. I ran [...]
Final Project Proposal: A professional style women’s vest with laser cut lace appliqué based on a mathematical design. The work will be an extension of the Laser Cut Lace assignment and will further the project by the creation of more Processing models and shapes fit to clothing dimensions. Project Goals: Usable final product Durable: Lace [...]
knit pattern meanings 10 stitches across of each patter will be shown at minimum, more if needed for pattern pattern spacing for readability 1 leave hook in knit position 0 pull hook all the way forward > move stitch one to the right < move stitch one to the left ….. continue pattern x# number [...]
I made paper lace using a Voronoi diagram generated with a polar rose and a 2D graph of a Lorenz Attractor. The polar rose is a the forms generated by the equation r= a*cos(theta*n/d) and results in the possible forms shown below (from Wikipedia). I chose this equation because it produces a large range of [...]
Micro fluidic devices are an emerging topic in Mechanical Engineering and have many applications in chemistry, biology, and medicine. The goal of this project was to create a larger micro fluidic device from silicone to demonstrate some of the properties of low Reynolds number flows without a microscope. A few mili fluidic devices I made in 2.674 are [...]
My idea for the Shape Memory Alloy assignment was to make a curling flower that would react to light by opening up. I started by making several prototype petals to see how well my idea would work. I experimented with fabric and paper petals and used a power supple to test how well they curled. Testing Fabric [...]

The goal of the project is to create a pressure sensing glove to find the force used when blowing glass to help design glass tools. The most important glass blowing tool are jacks, which are pictured below. Jacks are extremely expensive ranging from $250 to $2000 because they are hand made in low volumes. Thinner blades [...]
