Luminaire

Assignment #8: 123d Design Application Exercise 4 – Luminaire (Printed)

Students will be introduced to the Luminaire project in a class demonstration, then follow example on video and in class demo to complete the assignment. Students may consult each other in small groups while completing this project. Note: 1. Must build a small platform/base at 5-8mm thick. 2. Must find a suitable pattern to subtract out for the sides. Students will export their finished luminaire as an .stl file and put the in the printer queue for printing. Screen shots (at least 2 perspectives) will be included in their ePortfolio assignment page, along with 2 pictures of the printed piece. Estimated time to completion – 2-4 class sessions.

Luminaire Example (Midway through video – can substitute “follow me” inner/outer layers, using sphere and shell tool (inner) to 3-4mm)

Reflection: this was a very fun and simple project to do, I hope to do more in printing!
