Double Curved Surface Assignment

Sara A. Ben Lashihar

This double curved surface was produced by using Paneling Tooling plug-in in Rhino 4.0 with volume (30 cm X 30 cm X 3 cm).

The mold was produced by CNC machine with foam material. Parallel finishing was used directly in engraving the material because foam is soft and fast cutting and this technique will not harm the cutting tool.

Concrete material was used to create the opposite mold. The first attempt was failed because of the thin thickness of the concrete block.

In the second try, the thickness was increased to about 3.5 cm to avoid the breaking. Before pouring the concrete mixture on the foam mold, I used Petroleum jelly to facilitate the process of separating the concrete block from the foam.

Developable Boxes

The first idea is based on the integration between 4 forms of leaves and create a complex model linking these forms.

The second idea is simple and based on linking between two parts of cylinders.
