Fan Coral: Abstracting Sculpture
-
A brief tutorial and journey in analyzing the natural structure of fan coral, replicating it in a digital 3D environment, abstracting it further at a molecular level, and finally 3D printing the molecular result at a hugely blown up scale. The work was performed in 3D modeling software, Rhino, with the use of parametric modeling plugin, Grasshopper. 3D printing and rapid prototyping was performed utilizing a ZCorp 3D Printer.
Materials: Cellulose, liquid binding agent.
