As part of a larger project with Prof. Fiona Ross for a 3D design course in the Art and Art History Department, beginning in 2011 and proceeding every semester, students learn and use Google SketchUp to develop an artwork composed of three pieces of small cubes taken from a much larger cube (when assembled, it looks similar to a Rubik’s cube). This serves as a component of a traditional studio course with traditional maquettes and larger fabrications.
This video was created from a time-lapse (15sec per frame) during one of the print jobs. The Makerbot Thing-O-Matic 3D printer used for this class is hosted by the University’s Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology and is a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic printer.
