ASSIGNMENT 3 DESCRIPTION The purpose of this project was to explore the advantages of the FDM printing as a fabrication technique. For this exercise, it was developed a set of prototypes of joints for a mechanical assembly. The design of the joints gave the final piece the ability to expand and retract. Basically there were [...]
ASSIGNMENT 2 DESCRIPTION This project was developed to explore the CNC milling processes through different digital designs, materials and tools. The materials selected were the Valchromat (595 x 395 x 24mm) and the Polyurethane. For this exercise, we study the design possibilities between Rhino and Rhino CAM in order to calibrate them with the milling [...]
ASSIGNMENT 1 DESCRIPTION The lamp is a project developed as an exercise to use the laser cutter. By using cardboard opalina 61x54cm 250gr, as material and bending as technique we explored physic models. At first by simple shape of bended paper, the main structure has been distinguished. By this clarified beginning, we started thinking about [...]
