Modo and a Saddle Zip
A more accurate version of the previously drafted orthogonal view. (Having the base 2d representation did actually help quite a bit when building the previous model because of the unusual curves in the channels)
I have done another model which is a little more easy on the eyes this time. Still there are a few inaccuracies and some newly realised design issues. Sadly the symmetry system in Modo is not as sophisticated as is really needed so I think one of the issues came though because of my methodology for creating the fundamental components.I think the next version will have a more sophisticated joining space.
Ideas about applications?
Please ignore the really bad surfacing. I will do a better job in the next representation.

the first application that came directly to mind:
ReplyDeletethere is a team trying to develop a method or device to allow human sexual intercourse in space.
maybe this would be useful in a tandem sex-outfit.
Could be interesting. There are some difficulties with user generated junctions as the tool currently requires all the zipped surfaces to be already linked. You should prototype your idea :-)
ReplyDeleteShape changing is one of the core values of this design I think.
