Hair! But Fabricated!

Magically makes a machine flaw a piece of art




  • Visualize hair-like structure digitally and physically
  • GCode Manipulation
  • C# Computational Design

Observation

1) Dremel 345 Printer always create a drag motion
2) Hair being a form a structure


Digital Representation


STEP 1:

Generate the follicle planes

STEP 2:

Generate strands of hair 



Physical Representation




Step 1

Experiment with the printer
.


Identify Challenges:
  • custom setting caliberation
  • visually and structually matches the design intent


Step 2

Generate “Hair”



Final Output

Scenairo I

Hairy Fashion


BRACELET

  • Splitting up circles into polylines.
  • Drag motion generated with Cosine function







SKIRT

  • Radius decreased along the Z axis.
  • Drag motion remian constant throughout to create drap effect on top.
