Folium a 3D Printed Book of Bas Relief from the Art Institute of Chicago

thingiverse

Tom Burtonwood, a renowned artist, creates an innovative 3D Printed Book of Bas Relief at the Art Institute of Chicago from January to August 2014. This book showcases the museum's vast collection spanning two millennia of human history. Folium is produced through Autodesk's 123D Catch and Recap photogrammetry applications, then edited in Netfabb Pro before being combined with STL files generated using Tinkercad to form the "pages." Each scan is printed on both sides of a page, enabling people to make duplicates of the artwork using flexible materials. By removing the two bolts and sliding out the pages, users can detach individual leaves. Upon completion, simply reinsert and secure them using the nut. Each 3D-scanned image is attached to a flexible leaf held by two bolts measuring 136mm long, secured with knurled nuts derived from "Knurled surface finishing library" openSCAD library. Each page must be printed in Ninjaflex, PolyFlex or a similar thermoplastic elastomer to facilitate the pages opening like an ordinary book. Designed specifically for accessibility, Folium incorporates braille translations of its front cover and works list for low-vision individuals. These translations were created using openSCAD libraries developed by nischi and jaqtikkun.
