VR to 3D Rose

For Valentines Day, I wanted to make a rose that would spell my girlfriend’s name. Traditional CAD is very difficult to create the natural lofted curves I wanted to make, so I used a Virtual Reality set to design the rose stem.

I was able to change exact details in Gravity Sketch, and even paint the colour I wanted the rose to look like.

I then imported this file to a Project 660 Pro powder printer. Since this uses plaster powder as support material and can print in colour, it was the perfect way to bring this idea to life.

After de-powdering, I then carefully glued the plaster to seal in the colour and strengthen the piece. This was a great way in showing different design capabilities and hardware creation to create a final product.

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to look at some selected samples and I look forward to hopefully joining the Design for Manufacture program.
