Details

The objective of this project is to create a series of low-to-medium detail 3D models of animals raising their middle finger. These models will be optimized for FDM 3D printing and designed for multi-color printing (up to 4 colors). The models should be approximately 6 cm tall, ensuring they are printable, visually appealing, and manufacturable for a 3D printing business.

Deliverables

Students will be responsible for:


  1. 3D Model Creation:
  • Design low-to-medium-detail 3D models of various animals in Blender, ZBrush, Fusion 360, or similar software.
  • Ensure models are suitable for FDM 3D printing with minimal supports.
  • Assign up to 4 color separations for multi-material printing.
  • Save and export files in .STL and .3MF formats.


  1. Concept & Design Review:
  • Create initial concept sketches or rough models for feedback.
  • Adjust proportions and pose to ensure the middle finger gesture is clear.


  1. Testing & Refinement:
  • Make necessary modifications based on printability feedback.
  • Ensure models align with manufacturing constraints while maintaining artistic intent.


  1. Final Deliverables:
  • A completed set of 3D models (.STL & .3MF) ready for printing.
  • Concept sketches or early drafts for review.
  • Technical notes on multi-color separation and printing considerations.
  • (Optional) Rendered previews of the models.


This project provides students with hands-on experience in 3D modeling for manufacturing, optimizing designs for 3D printing, and working with multi-color material limitations.
