Description
Tea cups designed with a 3D Scanning + a coded parametric manipulation approach developed at the Generator.x 3.0 workshop; an openLAB Masterclass with Marius Watz, organized at iMAL, Brussels.

I'm exploring the possibilities of 'object sampling'; much like sampling in music, real objects can be sampled using 3D scanning, and then 'remixed' into new shapes and sizes. I use hypr3d.com to create 3D scans from photographs. For the remixing I've had to develop my own 3D interface in Processing that allows me to first upload the scan/mesh stl file, then parametrically distort, twist, stretch, bloat, or smooth the mesh. The app also adds thickness and crops the mesh ready for 3D printing.

Instructions
There are two cups in a single stl file allowing you to print 2 at once, saving you a little bit of time. The 2 cups are different. Feel free to separate them by modifying the file if you rather have just one. The ones in the images where printed on a makerbot thing-o-matic.

I "liked" this a long time ago, but never got around to reading about your project. Then a friend sent me a link to your site because it remind him of some 3D scanning re-mix stuff I did for my MFA thesis. So anyway, finally got around to reading about your work. Very cool idea and process!
