Research was conducted at Haystack Mountain School of Craft, along with students in the program.
Session 3 Ceramics - July 2023
MATERIAL — HUMAN — MACHINE: EXPERIMENTAL POSSIBILITIES IN CLAY 3D PRINTING
Haystack Labs Design Sprint with MIT Center for Bits and Atoms
2023 Projects
Software tools created to assist this workflow:
LDM (liquid deposition modeling) debug viewer to identify failure points before printing
Auto union geometry using OpenVDB + volumetric modeling
Collaborative robotics with two IRB 120 arms printing together - tracked to a 3D scan of the space captured with the app
Slicing algorithm to convert mesh object to sliced toolpath with movement commands that can be sent directly to the 6 axis robotic arm
Multi axes slicing that takes advantage of all 6 degrees of freedom
QR code mapped onto a 3D object for LDM ceramic vessels
Image to SVG polygons conversion for laser cutting
Image to relief sculpture for 3D printing a physical QR code
Line growth algorithm for constructing organic physical letter forms
Gcode to RAPID code conversion to transform cartesian coordinate commands into a language that 6-axis arms can understand
