OpenSCAD has a much lower bar, IMHO, to create a parametric design. This parametric design principle is partly used by some professional-grade CAD programs (Fusion360, AutoCAD). That makes it easy to modify a design by changing a parameter, and everything that depends on that parameter will adjust accordingly. These shapes can be modified by having functions to create them with variable parameters. OpenSCAD uses a simple programming language to describe geometric shapes. OpenSCAD comes with a lot of examples and a short Cheat Sheet that is extremely helpful in learning OpenSCAD. I had no experience with OpenSCAD at all when I started this little project. Now I had an excellent reason to learn it. And I wanted to learn and use OpenSCAD for a long time. I always wanted to design and print something useful on my 3D Printer. He wanted to have something to place his new (and expensive) tamper for ground coffee. Add the debossed Text on the side of the BaseĪ friend of mine asked me if I could build something useful with my 3D Printer.By taking advantage of 3D printing technology and textile materiality, we were able to create structures that engage the community, create a more sustainable world, and amplify the arts. Experimentation included textile bonding tests, joinery and structure development for safe public use. Through experimentation of 3D printing structural components onto textiles, we were able to create a breathable structure that mimics the folding process of traditional origami tessellations, where the textile acts as the folding plane, with the printed components allowing it to hold its form.

The modular system allows the origami structures to be placed wherever necessary, but also have the ability to be connected together for larger gathering spaces. Structures were designed to be lightweight, and collapsible for quick assembly and transport. This project focused on developing temporary structures that will aid communities during this pandemic and in the future, by providing shelter from the elements, outdoor seating, and interactive pavilion spaces through a modular system of origami inspired structures. Public outdoor spaces have become a necessity for businesses, communities, and individuals who need a break from monotonous interiors.
