This 3D tile design evolved from a desire for simplicity and cohesiveness with adjacent tiles. The idea was sketched on paper then modelled with foam core. Modifications to the design were made following group critique. The design was redrawn in 3dsMax, cloned, and rendered to give a sense of the overall patterns. The 2D design was produced in AutoCAD and then sent to Laser Worx for CNC cutting in MDF. A form was created by gluing the MDF pieces together and placing drill holes to prevent air pockets. PVC sheets were then heated on a Formech Vacuum Forming Machine and suctioned over the form to create the 3D tile.
