3D Design

Print The Legend was a great documentary to give us an idea that we are moving into an era where we are getting more access to the means of production from the comfort of our own home. In the beginning of the documentary the Make Bot company started in the comfort of their own basement and it started off with only three people. It was an eye opening experience that they all encountered as the company started to grow. These three friends started to drift away because the power that was given to Bre Pettis made it impossible for their friends to stay at MakerBot. Then there came a controversy of people printing guns at home. This lead to something big that if we can print stuff to make our lives easier it can also put our lives in danger the fact that the printer can be used to print out objects that can be used to cause us harm. 

For my last project I wanted to create something using wood. I did not know exactly what I wanted to do, but when I was planning out the final project nothing was coming into mind. I wanted something innovative, when I was using my phone I always kept telling myself that I wanted some kind of stand for my devices. That's when my lightbulb turned on! Since I had recently watched the new Avengers movie I automatically wanted to use the Avenger's logo. That way it is appealing to see and know what art piece is used for. I wanted the art piece to be sturdy so I made sure that the piece had more than one layer to work with. If it was one layer it would be flimsy and be more likely to break if something heavier than a phone were to be placed on my art piece.
