Just a friendly reminder that Assignment Two begins this week.
In addition to finishing off any loose ends regarding the Tray, Torus, Bowl and Blister (refer again to the marking schedule at the back of the course outline) there are three tasks to achieve this week:
1. Form groups of 6
For everyone (except for the IDES students who have the class clash) ensure that your groups are as dissimilar as possible; in other words, form the groups of 6 by combining 3 pairs of students who have worked together on the trays and blisters. Daniel and Eliot will help you to do this.
2. Download and install 123dMake
3. Download this model of a Ferrari 250gto and experiment with different ways of configuring the software to create a template for shaping the aluminium panels.
Before the beginning of the next class (May 2nd ) work together as a team to cut and assemble the template.
(As a team you'll be creating the full surface of the Ferrari; with each student picking a different part to shape ... so after some negotiation there shouldn't be any double ups or gaps).
IMPORTANT!!!!! Scale your Ferrari to fit inside the BERG (Built Environment Roving Gallery) display cases. You'll find the BERG's in public places around the faculty (they are designed to move, so you might need to go hunting for them); they have white bases and clear acrylic covers and are about 1.2 meters tall ... Last time I saw them they were displaying 3d Prints from CODE courses. Leave about 50mm space between the front and back of the finished model and the display case.
The Design Lab has MDF especially for this task. I imagine most of you will use the laser cutter and 3mm MDF, but some might like to try the CNC machine again (work with Ed to explore that possibility).
Regards
Russell
