3D Consequences4 Designers collaborating, swopping 3D digital models in 3 iterations to produce 12

models to 3D print. The designers are: Farah Bandookwala, Elizabeth Armour, Lucy Robertson, Ann Marie Shillito

3D Consequences Project.•Did you play ‘consequences’ as a kid, the drawing game, where you drew a head first, folded the paper over so only the neck lines are seen before passing it to the next person who drew the top part of the torso and the arms, folded the paper over again and on to the 3rd person, and so on? •3D Consequences is similar. We used 3D digital modelling and swopped the models around.•The four designers taking part are: Farah Bandookwala, Elizabeth Armour, Lucy Robertson and Ann Marie Shillito. (See slide 11 for bios and links)•Apart from being fun and collaborating with others, the serious aspect of this pilot project is educational.

• The project was set up by Ann Marie to show the benefits of Anarkik3D’s haptic 3D modelling tool, developed specifically for designer makers and applied artists.

• The project was sponsored by Sculpteo, ITEC 3D and Anarkik3D (See slide 12 for links)

The objectives:1. to give a designer maker new to 3D modelling some training and

support to learn and to use Anarkik 3D Design package to design for 3D printing.

2. To generate greater awareness of Anarkik 3D Design package:– Show how variable, organic and free form objects can be:

• Stage 1: ‘duplication’ (copy/paste, mirror), Stage 2: deform (and/or non-uniform scaling), stage 3 Boolean union/subtraction

– promote the project through blog, presentations, case study• Models swopped, screen captures of progress • 3D models saved as both .cr8 and .stl files. • Results: 3 iterations/4 designers = 12 digital designs for

3D printing– exhibit 2D and 3D printed work:

• November 2013 - 3DPrintShow (Anarkik3D’s stand), • 3rd April to 7th June 2014: StudioFusion Gallery, OXO

Tower London (http://www.studiofusiongallery.co.uk/)

* Boolean: a function to join 2 objects, subtract one object from another or subtract both from each other leaving the intersection as a new object

Time line21st July 2013: deadline for

applications from designer makers to

join project.24th July: Lucy

Robertson selected28th July: her first 2 sessions - 3 hour

tutorial with Anarkik 3D Design package, then start on designing (3- 4

hours).30th July: Project officially kicks off.

Context•Requirements to participate:

– access to Anarkik 3D Design software (Cloud9/Falcon haptic device).

– Time commitment: work on 3 pieces/4 deadlines– enjoy collaborating with others in a fun project.

•Newbie designer maker selected on application: – why they want to be involved in the project – their own portfolio of work– no previous experience using 3D digital design

packages: ie: 3D modelling, CAD or 3D printing technologies!

•Lucy Robertson, textile artist & designer joins project as ‘newbie’•Anarkik3D provides Lucy with tutoring, support and access to Anarkik 3D Design package.

Short bios:

Farah Bandookwala (kiwifarah@gmail.com) is an award winning jeweller and artist. The Jerwood Makers Open gave her the opportunity to create larger sculptural works with an interactive facet: elements that light up,

vibrate or move when the spectator approaches, touches or handles the work. For the ‘Wear IT’ exhibition, Farah has produced a range of new articulated jewellery. http://farahb.com/news/

Elizabeth Armour (elizabeth.r.m.armour@gmail.com) “Designer and Maker of weird and wonderful creations; a Scottish Contemporary Jeweller who graduated from Jewellery and Metalwork at Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee

in 2012. She creates bold pieces of ‘statement’ jewellery, fuelled by avid curiosity to explore and mimic natural structures found in flora and fauna; mostly underwater plant life and microscopy, finding that these fascinating

forms such as corals and anemones resonate tactility and beauty. www.elizabetharmour.com

Lucy Robertson (hello@lucyrobertsondesigns.co.uk) graduated from DoJCoA, Dundee University in textile design. A skilled print and digital textile designer, she started exploring the line between digital and physical textiles using

new technologies and bringing together Arduino, animo-magic technology, laser-cutting, fiber optics and crowdsourcing.

Ann Marie Shillito (a.m.shillito@anarkik3d.co.uk) Ann Marie Shillito is founder and CEO of Anarkik3D, a practicing designer maker and contemporary jeweller, an honorary research fellow (Edinburgh College of Art) and author of

a book (Digital Crafts: Industrial Technologies for Applied Artists and Designer Makers).Ann Marie is passionate about the power of making, particularly about the values and meaning that applied

artists and designer makers bring to their work and their use of tools, whether traditional or new. With greater, easier access to the phenomenon of 3D printing Ann Marie is intent on providing the means for broad participation by more designer makers as they have the appropriate attitude and expertise for pushing

boundaries, exploring, experimenting and exploiting whatever to create new work. (www.anarkik3d.co.uk)
