A few months ago I was able to join in a Rapid Manufacturing project with a technological institute (TNO in The Netherlands) wich is aimed at deliviring a 3D printed model for the Dutch Design Week Contest upcoming october.

My 3D model is almost ready and will be printed in a few weeks. The whole model I'm developing together with TNO (who will also print the protorype for me) and will be displayed at the Dutch Design Week.

When the prototype is finished, I'm planning to use Shapeways as a deliveryshop (which I don't have yet due to the prototyping-stage of the project) for the 'unfinished' product.

Tell me what you think!]]> Eric van Straaten 2009-09-28T18:41:18-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=6885&th=1438#msg_6885 Eric van Straaten 2009-09-28T18:44:27-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=6886&th=1438#msg_6886 Eric van Straaten 2009-09-28T18:46:24-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=6917&th=1438#msg_6917
When I first joined shapeways I had the thought of creating a very tiny ball joint doll. I gave up on this after a while. I even ordered a ball joint doll to study it! Now she looks so macabre on my shelf, but I put her next to an angel bagpiper sculpture, and an iron faery, so she has company.

Looks very complicated though. Hope you win the competition. Looks very expensive to print.]]> Galbot 2009-10-02T12:10:14-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=19411&th=1438#msg_19411 Galbot wrote on Fri, 02 October 2009 12:10
Why does it appear to have joints where no humans have joints e.g. under the shoulder joint there is another one a few cms down above the elbow. It has a shoulder and an elbow and then one in between???? I sure don't.

this is almost a year late, but i just thought someone would like to know that the parts you are talking about are sort of "double joints", they make the doll a lot more mobile without risking too much of aestetics.

and eyedoll, your doll is beautiful! i remember the centaur girl in your shop, the is one of the most fascinating figurines i have seen in a while. coincidentally i received my doll today from shapeways but instead of many parts i ordered a one piece print since i will be making a silicone doll with an inner skeleton and only need the 3d-print to make a mold for the actual whole doll.

please show more pictures unless you have abandoned this project during the year, i would be very interested in seeing more of your pretty doll. thank you!]]> kerhohuone 2010-10-19T18:53:13-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=19479&th=1438#msg_19479 gumball 2010-10-21T05:25:27-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=19755&th=1438#msg_19755 http://www.ericvanstraaten.com
