Tag: 3d printing
We offered a new laboratory exercise in our Compute Aided Engineering class — Kiln Glass Casting. We have been playing with direct 3DP molds for a little over a year now. The way to know if you really understand something is to let students give it a go.
This lab allows you to experience direct mold printing (via 3DP) and kiln casting glass. Your mold will be used once(it will be
distroyed during the Kiln casting process).
You will not need draft and you can have undercuts (if you have undercuts, you will likely need vents due to trapped air).
Also, if you have significant undercuts, there may be issues of de-powdering your mold.
Constraints:
You will not be constrained by mold boxes BUT you may use only 12000 mm^2 (~18.6 in^2) or less of plate cross-section and the max
height is 70 mm (about 2.75 inches).
No part of your resulting glass object can be more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) thick.
Mold must be 16mm (5/8 inches) thick everywhere.

Plutôt enfantin !
I had the fortune to attend the 2011 Glass Art Society (GAS) Conference in Seattle over the last few days. The 2011 GAS was the 41st annual conference. As it was my first time attending, I wasn’t really to sure exactly what I was in store but I was clearly excited.
When many American artists think about glass, they tend to think about Seattle as it has a rich history in the art glass community. From the Pilchuck Glass School founded in 1971 by glass artist Dale Chihuly and patrons Anne Gould Hauberg and John H. Haubergto the the Tacoma Museum of Glass to the hundreds of glass studios in the Puget Sound area. It seems that everywhere you look there is some type of glass studio (only to be out done by Starbuck’s stores perhaps). Thus it was a fitting place…
The GAS program was so rich and provided so many activities that I really had tough choices as the program had many parallel tracks.
The Corning Musuem of Glass sent their mobile hot shop which provided a completely functionally glass studio within the conference center (really an amazing sight).
The Pratt Fine Arts Center hosted dozens of demonstrations as did the Seattle Glassblowing Studio (locally know as 5th avenue).
I took in as much as I could, but wished I had time for more (yes, Jim Moore had his booth in the technical/vendor display area).
Many things really stood out — the GAS organizing committee did an amazing job (especially with a multi-location venue) — tours, lectures, demonstrations, crazy glass blowing antics, art galleries, auctions, displays, food, and best of all outstanding people.
One of my favorite demonstrations was called “Cooking with Neon“ by Sarah Blood. She did an amazing job replicating a TV cooking show format. Sarah both discussed her art/passion — Neon Sculpture AND actually made a Victorian Sponge Cake before our very eyes. Needless to say she properly offered us teak and cake (which we all enjoyed).
Sarah produced cakes with neon baked inside!!! Amazing and good tasting.
One of the last presentations that I took in was “Technology meets Glass” by Vanessa Cutler. She provided a wonderful presentation of waterjet cutting as applied to art glass and an overview of other “high tech” processes applicable to glass (things like additive manufacturing and CNC cuttings, 3D scanning, etc).
European Street Design Challenge
Pour cette seconde édition de l’European Street Design Challenge à Paris, des équipes régionales et internationales de start-ups, de PME et d’étudiants concevront et mettront au point un prototype de leur solution urbaine innovante durant trois journées.
La compétition au programme de Futur en Seine sera lancée pendant la Conférence sur le Futur de la Création, le mercredi 22 juin, pour une journée de brainstorming, recherche, visite de site, collecte de matériaux et mise au point de scénarios. Pendant la seconde journée, les équipes commenceront à travailler sur le design et la mise au point de leur prototype de maquette. Le troisième jour, les propositions terminées seront présentées durant la conférence sur le Futur de la Ville, vendredi 24 juin et l’équipe gagnante sera désignée par un jury composé d’experts régionaux et internationaux.
Le Cerfav de Pantin accueillera l’European Street Design Challenge dans ses locaux pendant les trois jours de la compétition.

« I must issue a disclaimer before going ahead!
I have very little experience of working with glass, as I have been a potter for most of my working life. However, over the past 3 or 4 years my practice has evolved to use 3D printing and Selective Laser Sintering.
My first ‘digital’ pieces were made at the Royal College of Art in London as part of my MPhil, then for a time they were produced by Axiatec, a French company who had created a non-fired ceramic material and an infiltrant that allows 3D powder printed objects to withstand high temperatures.
I started to think about glass after my wife, Victoria Eden started to cast ballotini in ceramic moulds. She had obtained the material from a company that undertake road marking. In the UK the ballotini is added to the paint to make the white lines reflective at night. It is comprised of very small perfect spheres of clear glass and is obtainable in 2 sizes.
Pate de verre has held a fascination for many years, so I thought that I would undertake a simple experiment. From observing glass casters I knew that their moulds incorporated a proportion of flint for structural and heat resistance reasons. For my tests I needed a mould that would withstand the firing temperature but would then easily disintegrate in order to remove the glass from the closed mould.
Le Cerfav a eu le plaisir d’accueillir du 4 au 8 avril 2011 le premier volet du projet Tryplex. Laboratoire de fabrication mobile, il pousse les portes des institutions pour une expérience du design collaboratif. Les participants ont eu 4 jours pour mettre au point des prototypes alliant verre, plastique gonflé et lumière LED.

Dans le rendu, activer l’illumination globale permet d’ajouter une lumière diffuse à toute la scène et point trop centrée sur un objet. L’auto-occlusion permettra elle de gérer l’influence de l’objet dans la dispersion des rebonds de lumière dans la scène.
