As 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies become more ubiquitous design will begin to reorient itself around the user/citizen as it had in previous eras before the industrial revolution. This has happened/is happening/going to happen at various scales and for various products. My interest extends […]

3D Printed Prosthetic Skin
Taking the previous research in 3D scanning and parametric design farther, Prosthesis 2.0 explores the application of digital fabrication and parametric design in the development and manufacturing of custom prosthetic skins. This work was developed with a prosthetist, who advised on the weight and strength dimensions of the fabrications which were then negotiated […]

Improved Anthropological Research through Digital Documentation and 3D Printing
Expanding on the techniques developed in within the Veterinary Medicine exploration, current research is being developed to explore the potential for high resolution printing and CT scanning to preserve artifacts within archaeology and anthropology that will ultimately decay into dusk over time. The applied research […]

3D Printed Soft Tissue for Enhanced Diagnostic Surgery Planning in Veterinary Medicine
This collaboration initially developed between a radiology professor and the author as a mechanism to explore innovative ways of imaging objects (drills, computer parts, etc.) and reverse engineering the digital model for use as a pedagogical tool in design instruction. In executing the research and […]

3D Printed and CNC Milled Prosthetic Skin
Taking the previous research in 3D scanning and parametric design farther, Prosthesis 2.0 explores the application of digital fabrication and parametric design in the development and manufacturing of custom prosthetic skins. This work was developed with a prosthetist, who advised on the weight and strength […]

Laminate Topologies
Initial design intent for this lamp was to create an environmentally aware pendent light that produced visual aesthetic as you approach it. Using paper materials, components with variable depth are laminated together and illuminated. The difference in depth of the fins causes the pattern to appear / disappear depending […]

vb Scripting
Rhinoscripting was originally derived from the Visual Basic Scripting and has moved to Python and enables users to implement complex chains of modeling commands, loops and other scripting tools to achieve time consuming iterative pattern and modeling research nearly instantaneously. Much of the work showcased here was developed […]

ACADIA 2006 Poster Presentation Space
This design build project was the main board presentation space for the ACADIA 2006 Conference at the New Center in Louisville, KY. The installation was done in two shipping containers and held over 100 18”X18” boards on plywood ribs. I lead twelve students in the […]

Rhino Macro
The initial design statement for these digital images was aimed at generating complex graphic representations of potential skin or structural systems using simple and easily reproducible methodologies. In order to achieve these goals Rhinoceros 3D Modeling was used to generate macros from which curve, surface, […]
