A mixture of general-use and of some custom-designed plastic parts, fabricated on inexpensive layered manufacturing machines, is used to construct a variety of sculptural maquettes. This article describes the design and fabrication of a set of modular parts that permit the assembly of tubular sculptures as well as constructivist realizations of mathematical knots and links.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
