T = thickness of material
N = Number of Plates
R = Scale Deviation
Our system allows the creation of a complicated 3D light fixture from a very simple polyline.
These lights are simple to create using standard 3D software but the average person is usually unable to access or understand this software and process.
But, the average user can draw a simple closed shape. This shape can then be transformed into a parametric object online. The user then has a series of sliders that shift the above variables.
While the form is created by an algorithm the user still has complete control over the final output. Once they find a light they are happy with they can purchase, which sends a command to a fabrication machine the cuts out the shapes of the light.
The interesting thing about this is sequence is that it could be staged that the only human hands that touch this product are the end users. The process required to make this light can all be done by a computer.
