The ArtScience
Museum in Singapore is the precedent of my first model in Project Matrix. The
structure and shape of the building which simulates the shape of the lotus
flower is related to the nature. The rainwater can collect though the hole on
the roof form different petal-like roof that creates a water fall view. Its
structure and shape are the targets I want to create for my model. I choose to
use the 3D printing technique for the model because of the difficulty of the
roof shape.
For the Processing
1.
Design
through SketchUp
I design
the model into three part which include the roof shape, interior and exterior
frame structure.
After the
design, I export my model to STL file and start to print it through the FlashPrint.
For my first design, there are some mistakes of my model before printing. The
first one is a part of the roof that is not defined as a solid surface (Figure
below) with the support material reflected.
Another one
is the interior structure cannot show the exact situation of the model design
that the structure is enclosed.
Then, I fix
my model and make the second model. This time I clear the detail of each petal
like roof shape carefully.
Also, I try another way
to make the interior structure (The left one in the figure below).
The second model design
finish.
The model is without any
problem after checking this time and then start print.
After four hours, the model is finished by the 3D printing machine and then I try to remove all the supports with the tools.
