Zag project : Experiments

The experiments I carried out as part of my project ZAG allowed me to obtain structural organizations, linked to the very principle of fused deposition 3D printing. This results in particular aesthetics, as well as many properties: shape memory, flexibility, elasticity, transformability, friction, grip, interaction with light….

Parametric U-Hook

I had been looking for some time for a parametric hook modeling, but I did not find an existing and free model that ideally combines solidity and freedom of configuration. So I created the object I wanted, in the form of a customizable 3D file, created on OpenScad, freely downloadable and easily achievable in 3D printing as a “finished product”.
