week 0: tinkerCAD learning + 3D printing learning

week 1: case study on bricks & toys

week 2: sketches + prototyping

week 3: prototyping & printing

week 4: presentation

Final Presentation Date:

  1. 請大家在底下作業上傳開一個notion page，將上週的積木照片與這週的3個草圖，都貼入。（Deadline: 11/1, 24:00） Please create a Notion page and upload it below, including last week's block photos and this week's three sketches.

  2. 下次上課，要看見大家的3D模型。Next class, we need to see everyone's 3D models.

  3. [pre-study] Research about “building block”:

    1. explore existing building blocks and examine how they are designed.

    2. how many different kinds of “connections” are designed in the existing examples?

    3. how do these building blocks connect and what kind of potential geometric shape they can create?

  4. Design a modular building block that can be fabricated using a 3D printer or other digital manufacturing methods.

    1. The block should be a single component that can be repeated and combined in various ways.

  5. The size of each building block should not exceed 2x2x2 cm. width+length+height < 6cm

  6. Each block must be designed to interlock with the others.

  7. Use your blocks to construct and then a Geometric Form (size: free).

  8. Document the design and assembly process, highlighting how the modular nature of your block allows for versatility and creativity in building the final animal structure.
