Dominik Kolb and Christopher Bader, 26-year-old students at the University of Applied Sciences in Germany have developed a project where an interactive application can help users create abstract forms.
Called Quaddel, the project combines 3D printing and an interactive application to assist users in creating dynamic development of 3d imagery and output.
Quaddel’s formations are built on formulas, math, and randomization and create unique images that replicate coral, flowers, plants, and bronchial lungs. The structures are organic, and the videos of the images forming are engaging.
The 3d models can be 3D printed, and go from a video to a physical object. Check out some of the videos below, or check out the project page on Behance.
