THR_33 More Fabrication
More process:
Mark Krecic prepares the vacuum forming machine.
Heating the ABS.
The soft ABS is lowered over the pattern.
The air is sucked from the platen...
... pulling the ABS over the form.
Done.
The patterns are removed from the ABS.
Most of the sheet stock is removed and the parts can be trimmed to size.

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.

THR_33 Progress
The ‘Tea House’ Structure
Conforming to the traditional dimensions of a Japanese Tea House of 9’ x 9’ x 6′, the space provides a series of interactions between user and space, space and robots.
MXR_011
The best kitchen aide you’ll ever have
Automatic and Autonomous – true multi-tasking and sensing in one appliance.
RDO_002
Most extensive dynamic tunable capabilities from both in-orbit and deep space sources.
Don’t buy any other all-in-one media device.
TST_003
Fastest of all sense-enabled toasters.
New and improved user-recognition settings.
For the “THR_33 (Teahouse for Robots)” exhibition (The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Japan. Friday, July 9 – Sunday, August 22, 2010).
rootoftwo and PLY Architecture - with help from Osman Khan, Zack Jacobsen-Weaver, Chris Johnson, Westley Burger and Robert Yuen.
