WEEK 7

 

WEEK ASSIGNMENT:

Computer Controlled

 

 

 

 

 

Solid work is a mechanical design software in 3D, which I used for my task.

Designed the pieces

 

It was the first time I used this program to design parts so the first thing I did was to explore the program and learn . After that, I sketched out the pieces in pencil and paper with the measures I wanted to start to design it from the program.

This program helped me to do geometric forms.

 

Assembly parts

Assembly: this part of the program has a tool that allows me to make the assembly of the parts I designed. For me it is great because it allows me to join all the pieces and get my final product design.

and if any parts could not join, it would indicate the error and modified it right there in the program.

 

 

The part of the court, once having each of the pieces in format STL and it verifies closed vectors for the cutting process. I made it in the ROUTER CNC,  a machine of numerical control that allows me to cut easily , using a cutter 3mm.

 

 

The result was this was not very good as I expected but to be my first product in design and execution in court not went wrong and help me to see an overview mistakes, what I learned is one of the advantages of manufacturing digital saving the document I can modify it.

Lamp chose this design because the lamp image is nice, and the light was done manually and my goal is to show the difference and advantages of having the machines and programs for manufacturing .

It took me about 5 hours to complete the lamp and the to person who made the beautiful lamp approximately 2 days .
