3D printed hollow form object: The Hybrid
I started with generating 6 abstract concepts using mainly the distortion tools. I was mainly intrigued by forms that twisted and swirled around.
The following are the forms I generated:
The inspiration for this model was the form of an octopus
mimicking the form of a tree trunk
Inspired by the pattern of seashells
more swirling patterns and organic lines
For this form I thought it looked like the structure of a tent but I was worried that the form might have problems when 3D printing due to how thin the tentacles are.
Hybrid Idea Generation
Final Hybrid Concept
We both agreed on using the "octopus" form that I generated and changing the orientation of the model would work better. For the final hybrid we decided to create a model that would function as a wine glass, with the "octopus" form flipped and placed at the bottom functioning as a stand/support for the upper part.
Final hybrid and 3D print simulation
I added some ledges to the points where the two objects meet and connect so that they would hopefully print better.
