One of the particular methods we employed in our data driven design assignment was the use of bitmaps to generate designs. One of our peers (Jaime) in particular took advantage of this to make semi-spherical prints that showed beautiful representations of certain geographical features. For my final project I want to build on her work and take it a step further; spherical planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As someone who has been fascinated with astronomy since I was little, the idea of most things space makes me giddy. The thought of 3D printing the rocky planets (and potentially gas giants) and moons to make a 3D model enhances that feeling even more. For this project I want to investigate potential printing techniques for spherical objects and how far certain materials can be pushed within my current means to create astounding, but difficult forms. This project will also dig a little deeper into accurately printing a wholly spherical object from our data, a flat image, helped greatly by Jaime&#8217;s amazing work in her data driven forms. Taking the completed forms, I&#8217;d like to 3D print the supporting pieces to make an actual model or art piece. This may take the form of a lamp cover or other practical objects that take advantage of spherical objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deliverables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Experimentally sized spheroids to document behavior<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spherically printed objects using different materials (ceramic, metal, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Algorithm to take topological data of a planet and wrap it accurately into in a sphere shape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples of other computational design techniques to alter the shape into practical forms (lamp shade, mug, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.etsystatic.com\/23713858\/r\/il\/25733d\/4598449805\/il_fullxfull.4598449805_h45z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/plainmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/content_plain-magazine-little-planet-factory-01.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nov 3: Test simple size and other slicer changes to find most stable settings for spheroid printing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nov 7: Test simple spherical shape printing in the labs clay\/metal printer for feasibility (knowledge and properties alike)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nov 14: Research and create algorithms to translate planetary topological maps into Rhino geometry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nov 28: Extra time for algorithms if problems arise, use subtractive modeling for interesting practical changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dec 8: Create finalized forms with highest refinement found through the previous steps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following links look to be potentially useful for my pursuit of my deliverables and timelines. The first one looks at using a different method of FDM 3D printing that better supports creating spherical objects where features are printing onto the surface (like our topological maps would create) and should be very helpful. Another study&#8217;s the mechanical strength of a spherical print in PLA which could be helpful in general printing tactics as well as advice for how best to alter the spherical shapes to make practical forms without creating structural weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar_url?url=https:\/\/www.jstage.jst.go.jp\/article\/jsmelem\/2015.8\/0\/2015.8__1803-1_\/_pdf&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=nXo3ZYbnMs2B6rQP_8yvoAw&amp;scisig=AFWwaebBicHuWSwJWp6LmI7mVwhC&amp;oi=scholarr\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/scholar_url?url=https:\/\/www.jstage.jst.go.jp\/article\/jsmelem\/2015.8\/0\/2015.8__1803-1_\/_pdf&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=nXo3ZYbnMs2B6rQP_8yvoAw&amp;scisig=AFWwaebBicHuWSwJWp6LmI7mVwhC&amp;oi=scholarr\">Helical FDM 3D Printing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/340718734_Mechanical_Behaviour_of_3D_Printed_PLA_Hollow_Spherical_Parts_Under_Axial_Compression\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/340718734_Mechanical_Behaviour_of_3D_Printed_PLA_Hollow_Spherical_Parts_Under_Axial_Compression\">Mechanical Strength of Spherical Prints<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discourse.mcneel.com\/t\/bitmap-or-vector-image-on-surface-of-a-sphere\/64620\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/discourse.mcneel.com\/t\/bitmap-or-vector-image-on-surface-of-a-sphere\/64620\">Rhino Specific Bitmap Modelling<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description So far this semester we have looked at a few different methods of designing 3D forms for printing, and one of them stuck with me the most.
