    Alternative resources for theatre: 3D printing, woolen felt and gelatin adapted to produce The kiss of blood: developing alternate techniques to implement renewable, biodegradable, and local resources to decrease the carbon footprint
    (Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Dept. of Drama, 2022) Traughber Simon, Carla; University of Lethbridge. Faculty of Fine Arts; Wasilewski, Julia
    An Evening at the Grand Guignol 2022 was presented at the University of Lethbridge in the spring of 2022. Three short plays were presented to fulfill the vision of Mia Van Leeuwen. Van Leeuwen directed the production as a whole and the final play, The Masque of the Red Death. Jay Whitehead directed the opening show, The Lighthouse Keepers. The second show, The Kiss of Blood, was directed initially by van Leeuwen and subsequently completed under the direction of Justin A. Blum. Blum was familiar with the work. The costumes and special effects for The Kiss of Blood were my assignments. Designs for The Kiss of Blood were facilitated by my research which focused on manufacturing procedures, including digital manufacturing, gelatin moulds, and woollen felt. A priority for this research was the utilization of local and sustainable resources to minimize our carbon footprint.

    Voxel octree intersection based 3D scanning
    (Lethbridge, Alta. : University of Lethbridge, Dept. of Mathematics and Computer Science, 2014) Bennett, Joel; Wismath, Stephen; Grant, Kevin
    Recent developments in the field of three dimensional (3D) printing have resulted in widely available low-cost 3D printers. These printers require 3D models, which are traditionally created in 3D modeling software or are created from 3D scans of existing objects. To be printable, these models must exhibit the property of being watertight. In this thesis, a technique is developed, which, in combination with a custom built low-cost 3D scanner, produces watertight 3D models. Models produced by this technique - the voxel octree intersection technique - do not require any additional processing prior to 3D printing. Results from using this technique with the custom built scanner are examined, and along with the effects of changing various parameters to the technique.
