Project Description:
My final project proposal is to create a ceiling lamp. This lamp would mount into the standard electrical socket for ceiling lights, and is modeled to include a socket for a bulb.
Project Creation Process:
My lamp would be printed out on a 3D printer using clear 3D printing filament that would be either painted or tinted red. The plastic petals of the lamp are stacked in layers, where every petal on that layer is fused together at the base. The layers would be glued together, and if necessary would be screwed together as well. The bulb that I'd use would be a led, so that it wouldn't melt the lamp. The base of the lamp would be cut from plywood using a laser cutter, sanded, and painted a dark grey. I could not easily create this lamp without the use of digital fabrication tools due to the complex curvature and the number of copies of each petal.
