This course focused on exploring structures and the basics of rapid prototyping with a 3D printer.

As one part, I experimented with shapes, and designed and printed the hardware for the Rubimote project. As another I started a second project called OpenLure: I created a usable 3D-printed fishing lure, by placing a wire with attached hooks into the object in the middle of the printing process. The bigger vision included a platform, that fishing enthusiasts from around the world could use to download, print and test a certain 3D-model of a lure, then modify and upload their own variation of it back to the platform. The resulting collaborative design-process should lead to new types of lures, with a clear history of their origin and creative ownership.
