Did you know that there are only 25 working blimps in existence today? it’s a shocking number for something so grand and in essence is just a giant floating balloon. But the reality of it all kind of makes sense, the whole reason for so few of these comes down to cost. In our modern…

Assignment #2 – Stacked Model – Cristian Barrera
For my stacked model I went with a model of a dog mask, which I then decimated in blender into a low poly form. In comparison the two models are visually similar, the stacked model even retains some of the low poly form, but the use of the object changes as it becomes solid in…
My Stacked/Sliced/Unsliced Model and Assemblies for Assignment 2 (Isaac S.)
This is my stacked/sliced model for Assignment 2: a hammer with a battery for the head. I thought the concept was cool, and the idea of a hammer (which is supposed to be a strong, powerful tool) being cut up into small pieces seemed ironic and slightly humorous.

The 3D Nail Project
I am working on creating a set of very long nail. In the 1st try, I printed the nails by the 3D printer but it didn’t work. In the set of five nails, there was only 1 nail came out decently as you can see in the picture. It’s length is 6 inches. In the…
3D Structure
For this topic, the first thing that came to my mind is to make a bridge because the bridge is the one can hold and support many many different things, and it connects two different places together. Although I find a hard time using the boolean difference tool, for some reason it looks like some…
Dayflower 3D Model
This 3D model is of one of my favorite plants Commelina communis also known by the common name the Asiatic Dayflower. I started by flattening and shaping some spheres into the shapes of petals. I used the primative of the arm with a fist for the stamens and altered it with a stencil to give…
Birth of Coatlicue
I made this by joining a scan I did from an object at the National Museum of Anthropology (snake head) and extruding a cube. I also used the stencil brush two different bump maps) to add texture. It will be printed with resin. Dimensions approx. 6″ by 8″ by 15″? As wide as the printer…
Shapeways 3D Print
When making this, I went WAY out of my way to make sure that the mesh had zero problems. I’m glad to say that I have achieved that goal. I wish I made something more creative, but I think I was confused or unsure about what is possible to 3D print, and got it in…
Final Project
My final project consisted of a series of topologies that represent a clash between structured human development and the erosion of nature. Each piece is aprox. 10in squared and was created using CNC milling on renshape. To make these, I first started by creating a surface mesh in blender. I made these surfaces very repetitive…
Final project – Cecilia
Before going to my final. Just want to say I am really happy with how this turn out. Not only the physically way but also emotionally. I know I am not good like others using fancy 3D app to create those super cool character but I had try my best and this is really what…
Cecilia – CNC
At first I thought this project is going to be really hard because I can open one of the app but then I use photoshop to create the depth map and it’s all work out. Since most of other assignment I did about animal, this time I pick this dragon. I thought how cold is…
