Joshua Woody Project 3: 3D Printer



the first part started with a spherical and found a way to create a taurus. I then realized that I couldn't make what I thought I could make with a Taurus system and instead I opted for a for flexible object but ended up having a sphere that was stretchy and wood wasn't able to move into the cylinder shape that I needed, eventually found out that I could use a cylinder and then shrink all of the parts into place and then move each individual part by subdividing it using the tutorial video. 


My process unfortunately was hampered by an experience and overconfidence,


I thought that I was able to accomplish something that I thought was easy and I realized that it wasn't going to be easy. And I realize that fact too late. I ended up growing to realize mistakes I made that enable and that enabled me to make the actual project in the into a 3D unfortunately I ran out of time before I got to the stage where I could print it and then I entirely forgot about the project over the break. 


When I came in on Monday the engineering department was closed because I entered after 4:00 and didn't have the key to open up and get the thing printed. But I can share a screenshot here with what the design ended up being. I hope you enjoy seeing this process with the pictures I can take.

Project 5 (Final) Mixed techniques: Joshua Woody

  The first step I took in creating this project was determining what I wanted to do. My wife has a chronic illness that affects her joints and it was recommended by her doctor that she wear thumb braces daily. She's gone through a numerous amount of some braces and different styles each one not covering all of the bases that it needs to. There are three joints in the thumb that need to be protected. From wrist to tip of the thumb, the joints are: ·          the Carpometacarpal (CMC) Joint, ·          Metacarpophalangeal (MP) Joint, ·          and Interphalangeal (IP) Joint. most thumb braces only protect one or two, in addition, the some braces are restrictive to the point where wrist Mobility is impinged. An ideal brace would allow for the most mobility in certain directions but negate hypermobility in the wrong directions and would protect from all four...

 Hello, my name is Alicia Brechin and I am a sophomore Religion major and Art minor at Trinity University. I enjoy creating objects using technology and traditional methods, specifically 3D Printing, Digital Art, and Graphic Design. I lean more toward STEAM in school systems, focusing specifically on the Arts and Technology and how they can work together to help others understand and communicate across language barriers. I am in Mu Sigma Psy, a co-ed Music Service Fraternity on campus, and am currently helping to design a shield for them.                                                        Mu Sigma Psy Prototype Sheild, By Alicia Brechin After graduation, I hope to become a freelance graphic designer and digital artist. In my free time, I enjoy using the technological tools around me to create and design personal pro...
