W14 - composites
Mission & initial concepts
Assignment
Design and fabricate a 3D mold and produce a fiber composite part in it
Materials
- Fiber : Lino
- Wood
- Film or plastic packaging
- Epoxy resin (POX BAK 1206)
- Vasilin
Software design
- 3D Building
INTRODUCTION
I do not smoke, however allways thinking in my house, i have a lot of friends that does. So my intention is to recreate some ashtray that i could use at home. Probably the material is not the best one but i will learn in the process.
Design Process
For the assignment of the week I design an ashtray, and use the software 3D modelling. My first initiative was to print in 3D but because a personal problem (health illness) i couldnt have the time to print it, so at finally i use wood for the same idea.
However i documented my process.
Final materials (wood i used for the design)
PACKAGING
Next i used package tape (plastic packaging) in order to protect the mold and use over it some vasilin.
USED RESINE
POX BAK 1206
It is a resine of multiple uses, combined with its partner at normal teperature give excelents mechanical properties
Recomended Relationship of the mix:
Pox Bak 1206 : 100
Partner B: 20
Time of use: 20 to 30 minutes at 26C
Time of being hard : 45 minutes at 26C, it can be unmolded after 4 hours at least. The total hardeness can be obtained after 36 hours
I made Make a mix of pox bak
- 1: Red one
- 5: Yellow one
Based on the information of the brand i used it to my mold and left for 3 days
FINAL RESULT
The final product look not so good as expected, because i didnt left it in a saved area and also the plastic i used to give it pressure was unsecure, so most of the lino did not mix well.
