Public library - dexwillow - Diigo. Video: Subdivision Modeling and 3D Printing in FormZ 8 — Method Digital Training. This is a great webinar by the folks at AutoDesSys showing the new capabilities of the subdivision surface tools in version 8 and how they can get you to organic 3d-printable objects pretty easily. AutoDesSys: In this webinar we’ll show the power of form•Z’s subdivision modeling and 3D printing capabilities by walking you through a series of actual 3D printed projects modeled exclusively with subdivision tools and features.In this session you’ll experience:Powerful subdivision modeling and how it can be used in your project workflow.Seamless conversion of subdivision models to NURBS or Quad Meshes.How the inherent quad mesh personality of subdivision objects lends itself perfectly to 3D Printing.How converting your subdivision models to NURBS adds an additional layer of flexibility to your design capabilities.The advantage of minimal time involved with analyzing and prepping the model for 3D printing due to the subdivision personality.
3D Printed Dress You Can Print at Home with MakerBot. We all know Francis Bitonti is changing the face of 3D printing by pushing the boundaries of what it can do (remember Dita’s Gown and his belts?) And his latest creation is a 3D printed dress you can print at home! The Bristle Dress is made entirely on a MakerBot Replicator 2, a desktop 3D printer for the home and the files for the skirt are available and completely customizable on Thingiverse.
That means, anyone with access to a MakerBot, can make the skirt themselves! The incredible dress was designed in the most recent New Skins Workshop – Winter 2014: Brumal Bodies. The workshops are led by Bitonti, in partnership with MakerBot and Lagoa, and teach 3D printing and computational design. Patternism. 3DVizART. MATSYS. Voronoi Morphologies.

The project was developed though both 2D and 3D voronoi cellular structures. This technique was developed in collaboration with Jelle Feringa of EZCT Architecture and Design Research in Paris.
