PROJECTS


3D Printing
===========
	Alias -- Installed, working!
	Cannot save as STL (stereolithography) files :-(
	Got it!  Must mesh object into triangles first.
	STL files convert from triangles.
	Then save as .stl (misinterpreted as secure something-or-other).
	Transfer to other machine, read in to Z-print software.
	Don't hit "Print" yet!

D-Forms
=======
	[Temporarily dispaced in favor of Knight's Visor]

Knight's Visor
==============
	Curves computed, animation made
	Documenting derivation in Mma notebook
	Eventually will write up in LaTeX
	
Pop-Up Books
============
	Parallel Folds
	Mathematica 3D graphics for some simple designs
	Investigate:
		How to convert: Mathematica animation -> animated GIF
		
Protein Folding
===============
	[Defer 45-deg chain until I can think about it more]
	Borromean rings:
		All three linked, but if one removed, other two are not
		==> Cannot be realized by circles.
	Elliptical version ready as .wire file.
	Rectangular version?
	Cantarella peanut shape?
