Recording - Online Demonstration- Physical models and digital design
Recording of the online workshop held on February 13th 3:00pm Eastern Time (ET)
I will introduce you to the tools materials and techniques I use here in the studio to work in between scale physical models and the Digital Design workspace. Materials, computer programs and methods will be introduced.
The amazing thing about model making is that you can do it almost anywhere and when you partner that with digital design and fabrication that model can become infinity scalable.
All skill levels are welcome.
*Access to the workshop recording will be provided following the workshop. A reminder and link to the meeting will be emailed prior to the workshop.
I like to make my models of many materials, whatever mimics the properties of what I am looking to make my final piece from. For the organic pieces I use floral foam (because it is inexpensive) although there are more dense foams used in the ID field the=at are really fantastic. And then work paperclay over the foam to seal and refine the form.

Aluminum flashing for flat bendy things… or even in my miniatures the same material as the full scale works.
tools can be files, sandpaper, hot glue gun, knife.
I use a NextEngine 3D scanner. Although you can send your models out to be scanned by a third party.
Programs: Rhinoceros 3D, and Autodesk Slicer
