Marco recently spoke and gave a demo of the DIWire at University of Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico for UDESIGN. UDESIGN is a series of conferences created by the Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design of University of Monterrey as an effort to create an opportunity for students and other creative professionals to share some time with successful architects, designers or artists and learn from some of their experiences.

We had a great interview with the folks from LiveSpeak Radio about everything DIWire - the Kickstarter experience, the different stages of the DIWire, what we envision in the future, and more!

This is Part 2 of the interview. You can listen to the whole radio episode here: http://www.spreaker.com/user/livespeakradio/diwire-revisit-and-lsr-life-hacks

2.5D Bending

Helix

With the bend pin fixed in place and an angled ramp attached to the DIWire, we fed through a length of 1/16" steel to create this 3D form. One constant bend, one smooth helix.

-------------

Cone

The cone was drawn as an arched square wave and bent with periodic user assistance.

-------------

Cylinder

We bent a square wave form with some well-timed hand rotation to make this cylindrical shape.

Where should the next DIWire workshop be?

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the workshop at our office a few weeks ago. We had a great time! If people are interested, we got some footage of the event. Let us know if we should post it.
