Description

A small set of pan pipes produced using the FDM (fused deposition modelling) process. FDM is an additive manufacturing process in which an object is created directly from a CAD (computer aided design) model, using layer-by-layer deposition of a feedstock filament, in this case PLA (polylactic acid), extruded through a nozzle. Comprising eight 14mm diameter pipes, ranging from 40 to 90 mm in height, this example was produced for MoDiP by the Modelmaking department at Arts University Bournemouth in 2018, and took approximately 2-3 hours to print using an an Ultimaker 3 printer. It is an unfinished example and the layers of printed material are clearly visible.
