Task 2: Design and print an non subtractive manufacturable object
12
The second task for this assignment was to design a non subtractive manfacturable object. While talking to our supervisor Ferdi, I asked him because I was completely out of ideas. He told things like sponge etc. but I was not satisfied with this ideas. During our talk, we talked about CNC machines and I showed him a piece I manufactured out of aluminium on a normal NC mill as trainee.

This weekend, while thinking about what I should print for this assignment, I put the milled dice back into my office and got the idea. Print a dice in a hollow ball. There is no real option to manufacture a complete dice and a hollow ball with 1.5mm wall thickness. The dice must be complete with numbers on it, and at least 2 times bigger than the hole in the ball to watch it. I started SolidWorks and designed the two objects and fit them together. The ball has a outer diameter of 80mm, the dice has 30x30x30 and the hole is 15mm wide. Unspectacular, I know. Here are some pictures and my model files.

I hope this object is acceptable as non subtractive manufacturable part.
