Wages in our country are always at the middle of all the debates between everyone across the Americas. To see them in a real life model I feel we could see the wage differences in a new enlightening way. So I picked the salary data from different positions and departments here at UNM by salary. The results are eye opening. This data is open to the public and no names are posted. A link to the data pulled is\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/sunshine.unm.edu\/salary-book\/salary-by-employee-name.html<\/a>.\u00a0The data was cleaned up and rearranged to suit certain outcomes as described below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These data show the average and maximum salaries for 190 randomly selected position titles at UNM, as reported by the UNM Sunshine Portal. Everything was scaled to a maximum of 100 to fit on the print bed. The data set was limited to 190 positions because that is the limit of the z-axis on the 3D printer. In order to achieve the desired final look, the data were initially randomly sorted. Then they were subdivided into four equal sections, which were each then sorted in either ascending or descending order, resulting in a \u201cvase\u201d shape with two bulges, representing some of the highest paid positions at UNM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These data also come from the \u201cSalaries by Position\u201d data, with the only difference being that I removed any salaries over $100K. The intent of this was to remove the extreme peaks and \u201csmooth out\u201d the data. I also turned the 3D model 90 degrees and sliced the bottom half off. This gives the appearance of a bar chart when viewed from the side. The data are arranged in the same manner as with the previous object. My third design was based off of salaries by dept and this one I was able to extend the peaks and valleys to there max.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These data show the average, maximum, and minimum salaries for 190 randomly selected departments of UNM, as reported by the UNM Sunshine Portal. For each subset of data (i.e. average, min, max), the values were scaled to a maximum of 100 in order to fit on the print bed. The values were then sorted alphabetically by department name. The data set was limited to 190 departments because that is the limit of the z-axis on the 3D printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an excellent way of looking at any sort of data as well as feeling it making the data being used more real like and something you can imagine more clearly. Seeing the data in a 3D space as opposed to a flat map brings this data into our world that we can implement into perhaps artwork that helps remind us about certain tasks or maybe as a reminder to workout, do mindful work, save for a trip and the list can go on and on.\u00a0Below is the Grass Hopper Code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
