THR_33 Fabrication


CNC Milling the robot shell master patterns (Mastercam assistance provided by Zack Jacobsen-Weaver).


Milled robot shell pattern located in a 'pocket' to prevent the piece flying off the machine.


The robot shell patterns after milling - some trimming and assembly required.


The forms coated with plastic resin glue. These will be used as patterns or 'bucks' for vacuum forming.


The forms sanded and polished (2 days of rubbing) and ready to have hot plastic pulled over them.

About

I am exploring a hybrid form of art and design practice through the use of computer-based design and fabrication tools. I am interested in experimental objects and spaces that are dynamic and responsive and seek to challenge perceptions, expectations and established behavior.
