Design Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To give in insight into my design process, I should give a quick background on me. I’ve always loved math and science, so for this project, I wanted to see how I can represent mathematical functions in these artistic vessels. Every vessel that I created utilizes sin waves as well as other functions to generate their forms. I hope that through this work, we can see how math can be used to create new and interesting art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failed Prints<\/strong> – Below you will find the worst failure I had whilst printing. This issue occurred when I was printing my second vessel. What happened was the filament in the spool was trapped under other filament that was on top of it. That made it very hard to pull out the new filament and my ender 3 was unable to pull in new filament to the extruder. This caused the extruder to be moving without any filament coming out. I got it resolved, but I felt like it was a bit unlucky since I believe it was an issue with how my filament was packaged and not something I messed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection on the Parametric Design Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I must say that I really enjoyed this parametric design process. Since my original goal was to visualize and create physical objects that showcased the beauty of math functions, I was very pleased with the parametric design process that I utilized for this project. I love writing code in python, and the libraries help to implement virtually anything you can think of. Since I was using the sin function a lot, the math library was very useful for this project. I was able to modulate the sin waves and quickly see how they affected my vessel. This made the design process much easier as I was able to quickly visualize how changing my math functions changed my vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see this method of generating objects in real time in rhino as a huge advantage. Before this, I would have had to sculp a model out of clay and make rough sketches on paper. With this new parametric method of design, I am able to make precise objects that exactly represent the math functions that I desire, whilst being able to see how my vessels look along the way. Without these tools, I would have never been able to produce the vessels that I did for this project. I will continue to work with these ideas and see how far I can push the boundaries with this new design process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative Agency and Intent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My main inspiration for designing my vessels was to use math in a new and creative way. All of my vessels were generated using a modified sin function. In vessel 1, the sin function changes the x value to make the vessel wavy when looking at it from eye level. The second vessel changes the x and y value to make the vessel vary in thickness as it ascends the z axis. This creates the cool bubble look. The final vessel is a very long and drawn out sin wave on the x and y axis to affect the thickness of the vessel. I did this with a pentagon to create a cool flower vase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came up with these vessels through both planning and a lot of trial and error. I remade the vessels many times with modified values to create some strange and interesting shapes. The final shapes I decided on had intriguing designs while also having proper structural integrity. Some of the shapes I generated were more extravagant, but I was worried about the shape holding form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
