3d printed

  • 3D printing is a process of building an object by depositing material in successive layers. By heating and extruding plastic filament through a computer controlled nozzle, the printer follows a digital blueprint to create complex geometries.

  • To create the Heart Bag, a digital file was translated into a series of 2D instructions for a 3D printer. The machine then meticulously "draws" the bag using molten filament, stacking hundreds of thin layers that bond together as they cool. This layer by layer construction allows for a seamless, durable, and high detail finish that highlights the precision of modern fabrication.

  • The structure was built in Fusion 360 using a solid modeling workflow. Starting with a 2D sketch setup, I translated the initial concept into a 3D digital body, defining the precise wall thickness and tolerances needed for a functional accessory.

  • After Creating a roadmap for the 3D printer. The machine meticulously laid down filament layer by layer, slowly "growing" the bag from the build plate up into a solid, wearable piece.

  • The creation of the 3D printed heart was a time extensive process that involved learning the 3D software in order to accurately capture the desired shape and details of the heart.

  • The 3D printing process for the heart took a total of 21 hours to complete, followed by an additional 2 days for removing the support structures and refining the final result.
