Plastic Bag Prototype

I used the app 123D Catch to capture the form of a plastic bag, and then further manipulated that form in Rhino. Plastic bags are easily manipulated, functional, and transient. By 3D printing a plastic bag, I have transformed it into something that is inflexible, non-functional, and permanent. One bag has has sharper edges, making it uncomfortable to handle, while the other is more fluid. The models can be used for mold-making, otherwise impossible with a plastic bag, or they can act as self-sufficient 3D printed sculptures.
