Fabbing 3D-4D | implied motion altNevelson Think negative This project will explore how to create a file that can be used for creating a mold using a CNC router. Mold-making requires the artist to think in Gestalt terms of negative volume and subtractive making intrinsic to the CNC process. It also synthesizes many of the… read more »

Mold making

Fabbing 3D-4D | implied motion mold-making Digital substitution In this agenda-packed project, we are creating work that: That’s a hefty agenda for a simple carving! To get to the last criterion — substitution — we’re going to create an object that is a means toward an object: a mold. The image above is a clear… read more »

Motion implied through modeling

Fabbing 3D-4D | implied motion motion mods Extrusions are shapes moving through space Just over a century ago, the Italian Futurists were among the first artists to attempt a genuine expression of time and motion in art that was not dependent on the “freeze frame” approach typical of painting and sculpture since the Renaissance. In… read more »

Collage in art and fabrication

Fabbing 3D-4D | implied motion collage Collage and montage in art Let’s explore the idea of collage and montage in art, after which you’ll create a physical collage using 3D modeling. We’ll see how a collage approach to art is not necessarily limited to cutting and pasting paper. And we’ll discover how one artist in… read more »

Mesh mods

Fabbing 3D | plane > volume mesh mods Download sample files here Digitizing and mesh modifications 3D printing turns the data found in a digital model into a tangible thing. Digitizing does the exact opposite: it transforms a thing into data. The sculptural techniques of casting and mold-making can be a metaphor for digitizing. As… read more »
