How to 3D Print at Rutgers?
3D printing event at makerspace, last Thursday was fun and inspiring. This is a weekly event, you can always join Rick Anderson at 35 Berrue Circle Piscataway Township, Thursdays 8 pm.
The size of the printer is 6 in. x 8 in. x 6 in. so largest module of your design should not exceed these dimensions. Printer uses ABS, PVA or PLA. These filaments are available in limited colors and our makerspace is not carrying them all but you can take a look to all availbel colors from makerbot store.
Basically the printer reads from a software called MakerWare allowing to read from an .stl or .obj file. You should prepare your model in of these formats. Autodesk123D and Tinkercad seem to be the most commonly used software for this purpose but as a designer I would also suggest using Rhinoceros or ZBrush. Rhinoceros has already started a RhinoFabLab.
One of the most popular and free 3D drawing software is SketchUp, actually it doesn’t really save or export .stl but here is a tutorial to convert from prepared by makerbot.
For inspiration and watching some modalities and limits you may spend some time on THINGIVERSE.
Undergraduate Annual exhibition – Open Call for Art Work 2012
Here is a message from Amee:
Undergraduate Annual exhibition – Open Call for Art Work 2012
You are invited to submit one work on the theme of “Systems”.
(You can find great examples for inspiration in the Zimmerli’s group show “Art=Text=Art” and the work of Ruth Vollmer, who used mathematics and the Fibonnacci series/sequence to produce her abstract sculpture.)
Both BA and BFA students are encouraged to submit one piece each; all are accepted.
The exhibition will be on view from Monday, October 29th – Tuesday, November 13th, 2012.
The opening reception is Wednesday, October 31st, from 5-7pm.
The show will be curated and installed by the BFA Thesis class (Section 1) and participating students should bring their artwork to the Visual Arts office from Monday, October 15th – Thursday, October 18th between the hours of 10am-5pm.
SUBMITTING IS EASY:
- Fill out the two attached labels completely.
- Turn in one copy to a Supervising Graduate Student in the Visual Arts Dept. Office (CSB124) and attach the other to the artwork being submitted.
- After label has been submitted to the office, take art work up to the third-floor crit room where it will be stored until the exhibition is installed.
Let’s make a great show!

One Day Video Mapping Workshop
One Day Video Mapping Workshop from Atif Akin on Vimeo.
In the academic year of 2011 – 2012 at Rutgers University Mason Gross School of the Arts / Design Area, made this video mapping workshop with the students listed below. The course is taught by myself.
The workshop was in the format of an in-class exercise, starting in the morning and presenting the works by the end of the day. Students from the design area worked in groups of 3 or 4 and locations are chosen in and around the CSB of Mason Gross in New Brunswick
The soundtrack is borrowed from the album titled “Monthly Joint Series” by Amon Tobin.
