Composites

Assignment for week 14


  • Design and fabricate a 3D mold, and produce a fiber composite part in it

Modeling

I used Solidwors to design the cone nose that will be used for my final project.

Following the parts was cut using laser cutter machine, and then I assembled the parts.

Fiber Composite Production

The tools I used are:

  1. Cotton Fabric
  2. Wood glue
  3. Eboxy
  4. Painting Brush
  5. Scissors
  6. Spray Paint
  7. Super Glue

First Layer

I used wood glue with cotton fabric.

With help of my owesome dad we finished the first layer.

Then waiting about 30 minute to give the first fabric time to dry.

Second Layer

This layer was made using the Eboxy and the cotton fabric.

Following, I added some wood glue and left it a day to take its time to dry.

Painting

I used a golden spray, and left the part about 30 min to dry.

Assembling

I used the super glue to fix the cone with the propeller.
