Blender & Stratasys J850 3D Printer

'Exploring a range of software, both new and old, we aim to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds.' To do this I have utilized various tools such as Blender, Auto Fusion 360, Photoshop, CAD software and 3D printers. In addition, I have also used the Stratasys J850 3D printer, which has been specially designed to print on fabrics. Blender

Experimenting with Stratasys J850 3D Printer & Software

Below shows an Auto Fusion file that has been imported into GrabCAD to facilitate the selection of colours for the printer. Trying to colour each body took a long time, hence I experimented with an OBJ file imported from Blender. However, the act of flattening the bodies for the bed was proving to be challenging.

Below shows how I used the Auto Netfabb software to wrap a still-rendered image from Blender around my 3D model. Moreover, I employed Photoshop's generative fill to create designs with my render, which helped me produce an interesting surface to paint with more depth and complexity than plain colours.
