Hello, Welcome & MC Escher.
Posted February 4th, 2008 by kerrydesign
Hello citizens. Thank you so much for taking the time and believing in the Design Democracy. We really think this effort will help designers, consumers and fabricators embrace mass customization and will make a significant difference for the better in years to come.
I'd also like to say thanks to all our great industry professionals for the taking the time to be part of this effort. I'm sure they all will have great insights to add to the conversation.
We were talking to some students last week, and the issue of maximizing yield on panel type production came up. Currently we try to nest parts as close together in order to get the most out of our production. The first image below is an example of the Truss Kids parts, designed by Scott Klinker, on a 5 x 5 panel.
What I've been dying to try is to make the positive parts be equally as important and usable as the negative parts. Of course MC Escher immediately comes to mind.

The parts could be part of the same object, or even a separate items or product. During the discussion ideas for floors, divider screens and wall coverings were suggested. In 3D space the problem becomes a little more challenging.
Stay tuned; tomorrow Bryce is going to upload a great table base example cut from
6" wide piece of hardwood.
Be Kind, and thanks for stopping by.

M.C. Escher was an acute
M.C. Escher was an acute observer of the world around him and used his artistic and mathematical talents to create works of art that play with perspective and dimension, fantasy and reality, the impossible and the plausible; morphing them all into visual wonderment.
Yet the symmetry and mathematical self-taught mastery within his creations came rather unexpectedly from someone who in his youth had failed several subjects in high school, had a great distaste for mathematics, and never officially graduated. In his professional endeavors, Escher, despite his academic research paper shortcomings, was driven solely on raw potential combined with an intense dedication and a desire to succeed. Even drawing didn’t initially come easily to him, and he was known to complain about his lack of natural ability, which, coupled with his perfectionism, made the process move even slower -- but as per the cliché, Escher’s life story embodies the concept that “you can succeed if you simply put your mind to it.”
