Description
In this class Kim Lee presents an in-depth case study of the creation of the Hyperspace Madness Trilobot. Lee demonstrates its start as a robotic chassis in Inventor® software, through 2D concept art, and modeling in 3ds Max® software to fabrication using CNC milling, vacuum forming, and fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing. Attendees get a behind-the-scenes view of all the processes that are involved in bringing the bot from digital concept to physical reality.
Key Learnings
- Use Inventor files as a foundation for modeling in 3ds Max
- Explain how surface modeling applications such as 3ds Max can be used in the fabrication process
- List and describe the benefits and limitations of subtractive and additive fabrication methods
- Harness the benefits of the maker movement without having an engineering degree
Speaker
- KLKim LeeKim Lee is perhaps one of the most widely know participants in the industry over the past 15 years. His work as an animator, visual effects supervisor, technical director, director, author, teacher, and community leader has influenced artists from New York to New Zealand. His work in both the digital and physical realms includes commercials for clients such as JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.; American Express Company; Google; and Lexus. He has also worked on feature-film development at Walt Disney Animation Studios and on television series such as Mega Cities and Crime 360. His recent work blends his strong background in digital production with electronics, programming, carpentry, and mechanics, and he uses recent developments in the growing maker movement. Kim has written for numerous publications, including 3ds Max 2010 Architectural Visualization—Advanced to Expert (published by 3DATS) and Inside 3ds Max 4 (published by New Riders Press).
