3D Printed Dolls House - Furniture Exemplars

 

We have reached the point wth the examples that the student are producing following a period of reworking and refinement that they would now be described as exemplars.

Students have been continually bouncing ideas of each other to ensure that they refine, improve and rework their designs.

They have started to consider applying scale to them to ensure that they are able to work in conjunction with a figure or model to ensure that they are viable.

Early designs featured the basic shapes the new versions that are currently coming from students features designs that are had additional details that were not previously included with the designs.

Another example of this would be the comparison between the desk shown left and the bed in the top right.   The bed has been scaled perfectly to fit the figure, the desk in its current configuration is slightly too large as it comes in at nearly should height for the figure.

The other discussion that is being had with the students is what happens next? What else can we work on to complete?   The next direction where we want to start working on is how can we combine the furniture with the house and the rooms.

We have started to look at commercially available examples of decals or stickers again while this is in the early stages with some basic designs, which at the 

moment the scale is not quite right but we are wanting to inspire the students with the direction that we can go.

We can already determine that the floors and the walls could both be decorated this way, by focussing on decals for the floor and wallpaper for the walls.   It might also be possible to include additional details in the images that are not present as physical aspects of the house for instance other details that would be reflective of a kitchen background.  These early flooring examples (shown left) have been printed with a. standard colour printer and then laminated to put in place to ensure that the idea can be demonstrated.   As the Roland Versa sign maker pints .png files our junior students could complete the task on pic collage.
