Panel Cut Pen

This is the initial development for a web UI CNC draw path design tool. It is intended to enable a designer to turn 2D oriented sheet building material into 3D expressive shapes, while minimizing material waste.

Panel Cut 3D Display

... and now lets view the output of Panel Cut Pen here and see how it can form into a shape. Use mouse press or stylus (Apple Pensil) to orbit control view.

Stack Chair Concept

2D plywood sheets are turned into expressive 3D forms by way of CNC machine. Stacking is a feature of the end product (chair set) as it is the principle for the 2D CNC cut path pattern.

  • CNC Cutter
  • AutoCad (for pattern drawing)
  • Power & hand woodworking tools

Mechanized Ink

This is a new vector drawing paradigm based limiting the UI to pointing device on draw screen. There are to be no GUI buttons for determining shape.

Pilot Web Sketch Rendering

This is an initial effort to take a simple 3d model image and compose it with html5 elements. The intent here is to develope a quick light-weight rendering system for web based documents.

  • Revit 3D Model Shaded Rendering
  • Javascript
  • HTML & CSS

SVG View w/ Pan & Zoom

Pan & zoom features added to SVG drawing
* Pan with mouse button or finger press & drag
* Zoom by mouse wheel or two finger pinch.

  • PDF vector document converted to SVG for web optimiztion
  • Javascript
  • HTML & CSS

Layered Panel Light Diffuser

Make from birch plywood scrap, this panel prototype is to house 4 Philips Hue munti-color LED lamps.

High Table

This birch plywood and maple wood table was inspired by japaneese woodworking.
Its all jointery, with no metal fasteners.

Mechanized Ink

Exploring a new paradigm for graphic vector drawing UI

Mechanized Ink is what I call an interface for users to create, edit, modify vector graphics with a pointing-device centric aproach.

Unlike typicical drawing interfaces, which have evolved from desktop GUI systems, this system narrows user inputs to pointing device on screen (mouse left mouse button click-drag-release or stylus press-drag-release). Avoided is the requirement for the "hunting & pecking" type inputs where users are to construct and manipulate vector graphics by pressing an assortment of buttons and other GUI controls. The net effect is a UI which is more natural in feel, intuitive, and in-line with traditional physical art mediums. A digitized art medium, as such, combines the properties of ink and drawing tools for a machine of graphic drawing.

Composite Shape Pen

This pen is a means to draw complex shapes with a composite of shapes

Line Shape Pen

This is the primary shape, used to develope other more complex shapes.

Line Series Pen

This is an early, more complex pen. It's to draw lines in series, with editing features.

Line Collection Pen

This Line Series Pen variant enables multiple unconnected lines to be drawn.

Circle Series Pen

This is an early circle multiple pen. It has since been discontinued as the design of the code base has been refined.

Arc Shape Pen V01

This is the initial version of the simple ark drawing pen, that really works well, and has a good feel. But it's been since discontinued due to it's dependencies making for convoluted code.

Bezier Shape Pen

This is the current bezier shape drawing pen.

Arc Shape Pen V02

This is the new arc shape pen, which has been completly rewritten from scratch.

Multi Shape Pen V01

This multi shape pen enables the user to transform line into bezier or arch. In future, there will be ellipse shape option as well as possible array of user constructed or customized shapes. That is when this really will become a powerful approach.
