Focus e il problema di Apollonio

Focus is a block with electro-milled incisions whose design is inspired by the "Apollonius Problem". The problematic node consists in establishing the eight possible circles tangent to three randomly given circles. Experiencing as the feasibility of a candlestick can demand research in every direction and is always a bumpy path. Here, with the object that will be called Focus, a millable material has been found, while the "Problem of Apollonius" has been used for the imagination of an abstract geometric game that recalls but can be drawn and calculated. Getting up to this stage is already satisfying, but if you put together a little 'fantasy, a 3D digital model, a CAD and a CNC, from pure abstraction you can go down on the ground with an object, for example a candlestick. One way, among many, to try to provide pleasure and emotion.
