Preliminary Results on Assignment #6: Bell Design
What comes off the FDM machine:

What are the two most important insights you learned while preparing your .SML files?
Could you make a bell (of traditional shape) without the use of any support material?
(Answer: YES -- keep the slopes of overhangs steeper than 45 degrees!)
Paper Presentation by: Pardeep Kumar
FD86: Sederberg and Parry: "Free-Form Deformation
of Solid Geometry Models"

Paper Presentation by:
Jeremy Williams
SD06: Yoon and Kim: "Sweep-based Freeform
Deformations"

Presenters:
Prepare for a presentation lasting about 20 minutes -- if there were no interruptions or questions.
Rest of Class: How to efficiently and effectively read a paper to prepare for in-class discussions:
- Read: "Introduction," "Conclusions;" look at Figures and read captions.
This should typically tell you WHAT the authors have done, and WHY. - Now try to find out HOW they did it:
Look for the appropriate sections that describe the key techniques. - Also try to get an understanding what the limitations and caveats are of the described approach.
Might there be things that the authors do NOT tell you ? - You can probably skip the section on "Previous Work" or just skim it.
- Write down a few of the key points you learned,
as well as some questions that are good for discussion in class.
Continuing Assignment #7: Team-based Puzzle Design
Each team should design a viable B-rep of their puzzle parts based on our discussions in class and individual feedback received.
Due: 2pm Wednesday, October 12, 2011.
Finishing Assignment #6: Bell Fabrication
Clean up your FDM parts and bring them back for another "photo-op".
Due: Wednesday, 10/12/2011, 4pm
