connectors
connectors are silent heros, taking a group of unrelated parts and bringing them together into a meaningful object. They allow different substances to interact with each other, they negotiate opposing needs and bridge conflicting axes.

including aluminium, vulcanized fiber, Garolite, carbon fiber, cherry, steel, acrylic and petg
Consider clay as a connecting substance: in its plasticity it’s able to take whatever shape it’s molded into, lending itself perfectly to the formal needs of other substances and parts. In its transformation into ceramics, it captures the soft yeilding shape and converts it into a relentlessly hard and dense connector.

this series of objects was assembled of (semi) standardized parts and 3d printed clay connectors.
In order to print these irregular ceramic objects, a clay specific support material was developed. This calcium based substance can be printed with the parts and will desolve away after the firing process. This supporting process is what allowed printing forms that do not have a flat bottom, as most clay 3d prints do.

Proceedural modeling via Grasshopper was used in these objects to generate structurally-sound and 3d-printable connector forms.
