FRAME CONNECTOR
Lab frames organize equipment in laboratories and workshops. Designed for desktop 3D printing, my spherical frame connector demonstrated digital prototyping here at the VR Innovation Gallery. Rapid prototypes were on display at the Ice House Innovation Space.
It seemed easy enough, printing hundreds of small objects before understanding basic limits of the technology. While faster printers are on the way, an early fused deposition modeling (FDM) machine took fifteen hours to print twenty-seven connectors. A helpful chemistry professor supplied the rationale for an educational virtual reality experience, explaining how my lab frame prototype resembles a sodium chloride ball-and-stick model.
These were early forays into desktop 3D printing at the university. This rig tested strength attributes of different plastics and various infill densities, defined as a hollowness percentage. When practicable, concept visualization combines digital and physical models, expressing wide-ranging design characteristics.
