Looking Outward Blog #3 TREDDY 

TREDDY by F.A.T Lab

The project I admired most is the TREDDY, which is a free software to customize rubber stamps with any artistic ideas. The part TREDDY inspired me the most was its usefulness in daily life. Although other Parametric 3D Project might be artistically pleasant, but most of them have little to do with real life. Maybe in term of stimulations other Projects are useful too, but TREDDY is the most user friendly one that’s open to the public. We can use TREDDY to improve our quality of life by making our rubber stamps visually pleasant to us, and it’s also a great way to create toys for kids.

TEDDY allows us to 3D print through CAD files. In terms of the algorithms, I think that it puts a set of variables into the parametric equations to create shapes on the rubber stamps and the rubber stamps itself. The final form of creator’s artistic sensibilities was demonstrated through the drawing created by of rubber stamps when stained with ink and the rubber stamps itself.
