Work Plane
Overview
By using Fusion 360's generative design software, I created a work plan. In order to face the basic desk of many workspaces, the work plan was designed to be suspended from the ceiling. This suspension allows for an open floor plan and the installation of electrical, lighting, shelving, and more, all from the object. Loads and forces were very important in creating an effective and stable suspension. As well as parametric design this provides the ability to change dimensions of the desk to fit the needs of varying spaces. ​

Joint Production
After creating the work plan, I then turned it into an object that could be constructed in the physical world. I began dematerializing by creating rods and spheres (placeholders for joints) that accompanied the generated object. In order to create a joint I decided to use generative design and the spheres. In generative design I added loads and forces on the rods that intersected with the spheres. Through many processes, the joint was then 3D printed and assembled. This workflow would eventually be applied to all the joints.
