Today we spotlight a group within the Digital Assemblies class within the Design of University of Utah, both to showcase their work and better contextualize and explain the thinking behind the experimental material(s) they created using the Filabot EX2, and the design of the lamp shades printed using the Massive Dimension Pellet Head Extruder.  Drawing upon two distinct but complementary design prompts – for-loops and aleatory methods – this group brainstormed ways to utilize their experimental material in creating a simple lamp. “Thinking about for-loops, [we] thought of how they work in code. Given some parameter that is true, the code will keep...

  We had previously mentioned our collaboration between binaryslc, Filabot and Massive Dimension in sponsoring the fall 2020 Digital Assemblies course, instructed by Milad H. Mozari, in the Multi-Disciplinary Design Program at the University of Utah.  The last several weeks have involved exploration and experimentation with materials and creating filament using the Filabot EX2  You can read about the collaboration up to now on the Filabot website by clicking the link below: Click here to see all Filabot posts related to the University of Utah/ Binary collaboration. For several weeks, students in the Digital Assemblies class had been patiently awaiting the chance to realize their designs at full scale using...

For the fall 2020 semester at the University of Utah students of Ditagal Assemblies be using tools such as the Filabot EX2 filament extruder, the Filabot Pelletizer, and the Massive Dimension Direct Pellet Head Extruder, students will be introduced to a process of exploring digital technology and scholarship in design and making, with a focus on material experimentation in a context of design enquiry and discovery.

Let us introduce you to Sandy, she is the nickname of the robotic arm that used to work in a sanding/finishing process in the plastics industry, and is now happily re-purposed as a large format 3D printer. Her operator, Matthew Sutton, is the owner and operator of binary, a multi-material, multi-scale additive fabrication studio located in Salt Lake City Utah.
