Safety Badge Project

Purpose

The purpose of this safety badge, or more specifically the Yellow Safety Badge is to help us hone our CAD skills, and create a personalized yellow badge which indicates our safety level training to those in the KRLL Lab on Punahou Campus.

Key Tools Used

Caliper

Caliper is used for precise measurements of different parts.

Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator is a powerful Computed Aided Design (CAD) prefered for digital art and digital design (opposed to more intricate engineering processes).

Ruler

Ruler is used for more general and large measurements without the requirements of precision.

OnShape

OnShape is a powerful Computed Aided Design (CAD) tool used by engineers and digital designers alike.

OnShape Design

Onshape is a powerful design tool used to create both 2D sketches and 3D models, which can be used for both laser cutting and 3D printing. OnShape is a very precise tool used for more complex and technical designs.

Adobe Illustrator Design

Adobe Illustrator is a design tool that appeals more to artistic designs rather than more technical ones, used more for artistic endeavors, opposed to complex engineering projects.

Laser Cutting

Using a laser cutter, we etched and cut out the personalized computer fabricated design.

Spray Painting

Using Rust-Oleum Sun Yellow Spray Paint we spray painted our badge yellow, the level of safety training indicated by the badge.

Finished Badge

Wood Source Sustainability - Home Depot vs. City Mill

Home Depot

The Home Depot Eco-Action Website claims that they promote and "encourage" their suppliers to sustainably source their wood. However, it should be noted that this wording is slightly vague, as "encouraging" is not a guarantee or a requirement by Home Depot that their wood suppliers are sustainable.

City Mill

The official City Mill Website has little to no information available on the topic of their lumber supplier sustainability. Without this information, it is advisable that for sustainability purposes and intents, users should primarily buy wood from Home Depot.
