re-invention
In this exercise I followed two paths and one future plan:
1_ To edit an existing cad file (mold.cad) and create a new piece for
the lego brick. The new piece is the result of an intuitive process
of finding a smaller part to be part of the system, the result is a
two joint Lego piece.
2_ To create a mold out of an image. This is the mold of the surface
of Mars, created out a satellite picture taken from internet,
converting it into a .png file, inverting it, milling, and making the
mold with urethane. The result: a niece piece of rubber that could be
developed into the game of lightning and depth of the mold.
Future Plan: Make a mold of a skateboard and cast WOOD
The brick partner
Mars territory
SKATEBOARD MOLD
Using Rhino cam and the Illustrator files sent by Jason from
DIYskate.com I created the upper and lower mold of a skateboard to be
milled soon. With this kind of mold is possible to cast wood, create
customized skateboards, furniture and other type of sculptures using
veneer wood or thin plywood.
