Spiral Galaxy Expansion

This project was inspired by the movement of the spiral galaxy and fractals. Fractals are numeric sequences that are self spawning meaning they contain a pattern with no instructed end. these equasion can be used to explain the eternal expansion of galaxies after the big bang. As an artist and lover of science i attempted to demonstrate this property in a 3d printable model.
This model's spiraling planes were created using expansional factorial equations imputted in to Grasshopper for Rhino with limits on their expansion to allow for 3d printing. Without the limints the program self propegates to infinate expansion crashing the computer.
The final model was 3D printed with white nylon filament on a Dremel Idea Builder.
