Partition Plane
Overview
Our group focused on the generative design applications within Fusion 360, and by using that I was able to construct a Partition Plane. Initially I established the dimensions for each panel and how they would connect to one another. The dimensions were defined as parameters and could be adjusted for change in size. I was able to create a rhythmic pattern using avoid and preserve geometries within the parameters for each panel. The partition plane provides a non permanent solution to dividing a room or adding privacy. The partition plane can be altered using the parameters to fit any space.

Each panel is attached to one another in a way so that the entire Partition plane can fold completely into itself. Prior to establishing how each panel would collapse I created toolpaths for how each panel could be CNC milled. Working with toolpaths within Fusion 360 is a way to decipher exactly how a generative design form can be manufactured. To create a successful toolpath it is essential to consider the contour of the shape, and how a block could be carved out to the desired form. Toolpaths allow the opportunity to instruct each cut to the object so a pattern that the drill bits follow can produce finer geometry to the form.
