The mirrored edges of these tiles create four distinct spatial patterns when aligned. The tiles leverage the material properties of laminated birch plywood to explore topographic patterning and symmetry.

fabrication technique: milled with cnc router
total time: >5 minutes from beginning to milling | 70 minutes to mill
If anyone knows what "trapunto" embroidery is, I've hit upon the latex-plus air analog. This technique would be useful for creating texture on stretched latex forms for plaster. You betcha. It will also work to evacuate the space between membranes, too.
This is the 4th pull on a new thermoformer. Knowing that that undercuts and voids would propose a problem, the test was used to gauge the heating elements and the vacuum in relation to a specific material cross-section, against a rather activated form.

Usually the first attempt at a new alien dome would require at least one adjustment so that the dome "snaps" into place....This time though, success straight from the gate!!! This dome snaps perfectly onto the alien head and hugs the contours just underneath.
Images you see here are of both the master sculpt and initial cast with domes attached. I increase the tones in the images so you can see the shell of the clear dome.
More images to come as I continue with the inner jaw and tendons - am thrilled this step in the vac forming was the only step needed. :) #alien #aliencovenant #protomorph #xenomorph #vacuumforming #PETG #dome #sculpting #success

The formers are used to make a vacuum formed Raspberry Pi case out of 1mm sheet styrene.
What a surprise! I was going thru some of my boxes of plastic objects and I find these!! Didn't know I had them even though they must have been a recent purchase.
I think they are vacuum formed acrylic, probably from the 50's/60's judging by the brass fixing at the top.
Staff from the Kingwood Library participated in the Bayou City Book Festival at Lone Star College-Kingwood on April 8, 2017. We showcased some of the library system's services, like reading therapy dogs and maker activities. We also had 3D printing and vacuum forming. Thanks to our community partner, Creekwood Middle, festival goers got to make their own pens.
This is a stool I've been working on the last few weeks. My goal is to assemble a stool together using thermoforming, and through this, eliminate the need for fasteners. By using what would normally be considered "consequences" of vacuum-forming, the undercuts and trapping of wood add to it's structure.

A sample of the work done in the Communication Design class- Packaging Design. Students were asked to name, storytell, and repackage an existing multi-function all-in-one utility tool. They also vacuum formed their own packages.
