For composites assignment, I decided to try to create a porous shell structure. As a first step I molded an organic form using Shopbot.
I designed the form in Rhino.
Using a little help from Guillermo, I was able to generate toolpaths in Mastercam.
I sent the file to shop bot, and milled. We needed to drill the foam to screw down to table, since the foam height was too much.
Final mold.
I used Grasshopper to generate a voronoi pattern to be casted on the mold.
I used lasercutter to cut patterns on linen. Using the same settings with bristol was enough. I created three different groupings of the pattern to be able to make the composit structure better.
Painted mold before the epoxy application.
I applied my pattern on the mold.
Finally I made a vacuum bag and leave it for drying.
