This project is a study on using a digital and sustainable technology, such as a laser-cutter to transform polypropylene (PP), which is a material that is rather rigid into one that is more elastic and experiment how we are able to transform from a two-dimensional to three-dimensional form when force is applied by cutting lines on the material.
Day 1 was simply experimenting with different patterns and geometries as well as cutting techniques with each team member exploring different principles.
Key takeaway at the end of the day:
Picking two of the designs from our first round of test to narrow down for our study
Creating more iterations from this with minor changes:
3. Experiment with different materials
4. Team discussion: understanding the rationale behind pattern produced from force, how to move forward, solution to the lack of material, refining even more and creating more iterations (using the overlap design to create shapes)
Key takeaway at the end of the day:
For our presentation, we prepared a two-part installation whereby the first part (that is above the black cardboard) to show the principle we learned of how varying the length of cut lines in the overlapping area can change the size of the ripple, followed by the second part (when the black cardboard is removed) to show the application of our understanding onto a surface as we now understand what we can do to create a controlled, even form.
