 For this weeks' assignment, I've done the research and practice work without separating them, to see if I can keep the thinking and doing more connected. I loved the week's theme of not thinking of the body as a white canvas, but instead understand how any perception of, or idea about bodies is already cultural and, if I may add: implicated in body politics. It resulted in three experiments and a realized physical model made out of paper. In summary I have:

 ##Get The Body You Want!: Creating a 3D mesh of someone's body by scanning it
 
-What I used for bodyscanning is the [SizeStream SS20 body scanner and software](http://sizestream.com/ss20-classic/) we have at work. Colleagues at the Fashion Research and Technology group use this machine to create a database of measurements to optimize e.g. the design of uniforms. The process of scanning is so straightforward, it's a bit silly to document, but here are the steps and below is a video that shows how it's done. Even the voice instruction and music you hear is really how the interface guides you lol.
+**Capture app for iOS**
+
+I used this nice app for iOS, that creates a point cloud from a scene you capture by slowly moving your phone. It didn't work on my good ol' iPhone SE, so I used my sister's newer model, thanks sis. I made a capture of myself and my nephew Faas on my lap. Of course he didn't really want to sit still (he's 11 months old). But you still get the idea. The .usdz file was a little hard to manipulate or even view. There's not so many tools yet for this Apple-native 3D file format, so it's still a bit hardcore. [This tutorial](https://medium.com/@alberto.taiuti/usd-z-deep-dive-for-arkit-part-one-11bcf24a3deb) explained a bit more about the filetype... I managed to view it by opening it with TouchDesigner though, it looks like this:

 ###Material choices *before* fabrication design
-I'd prefer not to go overboard creating this assignment, as it's unlikely I'll be *using* intensively, so I'll try to reduce the amount of materials required to produce the torso. The material provided by is 4-8 sheets of corrugated cardboard, with dimensions of 1160 X 960 cm and a thickness of 3mm.
+I'd prefer not to go overboard on material use in creating this assignment, as I have no idea whether I'll be *using* the mannequin intensively at all. So I'll try to reduce the amount of materials required to produce the torso while still making a full-sized torso that hopefully comes out nicely. The default material provided by is 4-8 sheets of corrugated cardboard, with dimensions of 1160 X 960 mm and a thickness of 3mm.
 
 Stacking slices makes for a nice solid mannequin with a lot of detail but easily eats up more than 20 cardboard sheets. So you will see I've opted for the folded panels technique using Slicer (see below), and estimated I'd get better results using 300gms colored paper because it allows me to fold the vertices using tongue connections (see below). I got my go-to heavy duty paper: [Florentino 300gms at Van der Linde in Amsterdam](https://www.vanderlindewebshop.com/nl/catalog/papier-karton/gekleurd-papier/van-der-linde-gekleurd-papier-en-karton/florentino-gekleurd-papier-300-grams/g+c+bg+a).

 I played around with the different techniques and settled on the *folded panels* technique and made some decisions about my material (see above). Then I put in the dimensions of my material and looked at the plans and the errors. My pieces were way too big for the material so I had to add a lot of seams.

 ## Cutting the design plans
 
-After I ran a test it became clear that the slots I had for my design were not going to be big enough to give the structure any integrity and would only work as orientation markers. I tried getting the design sliced with bigger slots but the very narrow vertices cannot accommodate tabs or slots well, so I was unable to resolve the issues using this technique. So I opted for taping down the seams on the inside, using the slots as a guide.

-**BRM Laser at WAAG**
-This is the same laser I'm used to at work but an older model so some stuff is different. For example, I need to use much higher settings to cut this paper than I would at work (Speed 100/Power 20, compared to 16 or so). 
+Paulina who was cutting before me had some issues with the machine so I didn't get a chance to cut on Monday. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise! In the evening I stubbornly tried to optimize the designs by using tabs instead of tongues, and also enlarging the tabs. For some reason the software wouldn't let me do it earlier today or kept complaining about model issues. This time around I was able to make a cutting layout that could actually work! OMG yes! I think the trick was to just start all over and import the .stl file again. For some weird reason Slicer just seemed to need a fresh start.

+3. Delete annotations layer (unless you want to cut the numbers on the pieces, but I don't).
+4. Cut everything
+5. Delete all layers beside one (doesn't matter which)
+6. Paste in place
+7. Select an outline (blue), go to the "Select" menu, then "Same", then 
+8. Group the elements
+9. Open "Pathfinder" tools under "Window", and press "Outline", reset the stroke in a pure RGB color
+10. Ungroup the elements again (this is important!)
+11. Repeat step 7-10 for the other colors in the drawing that need different kind of cutting job. Separate e.g. scoring/dotted lines from engraving or cutting.
+12. Save as Illustrator 2 file (or Illustrator 8, or other, as your machine requires). 
+13. You should now have a *cutfile* with one layer and only ungrouped elements, and a *reference file* that still has all layers separated and still has the annotations layer so you can find out what's what.
