This week's assignment is a phone holder.
As someone who uses tablet daily to read, I wanted to make the holder to fit my tablet.
I found the design on pinterest.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Fusion 360 software for creating and assembling 2D design.
LaserCad software for preparing 2D design to be cut.
Malky ML64 CO2 for laser cutting using plywood.
Design/Preparation Process

Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?

At first I draw the design on paper with initial dimensions.
Then I made the design using cardboard to make sure of the dimensions and that the design would be able to hold the tablet, also to determine how steep the holder should be.
Sketches
Extruding
After assembling
On fusion 360, I sketched the design making it fully defined by starting to sketch from origin and specifying dimensions to each line, then extruding the components and assembling them using rigid joints.

At the lab, I opened laser Cad to download my DXF file and started the machine, then I used screws and nuts to assemble the parts together.
Before exporting DXF files from fusion 360, I made sure that I removed all the construction lines and then on laser Cad I prepared the design to be cut with minimal possible spacing between parts.
The cut power was 70% and speed was 25mm/sec.

The dimensions of the holder was kind of hard to determine.
I solved that by making some reasonable initial dimensions and then minimizing them on cardboard design I made, to make sure that I would use the least possible amount of material.
Also, after fabrication the machine didn't cut the outlines very well and I had to use a cutter at some parts.
Final cardboard dimensions.

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
I would design on fusion 360 the body of the piano and the keys and fabricate them using the laser cutter.
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

I learned how to design on CAD software (Fusion 360) as it's my first time designing on it.
and we made bunch of cool comfortable chairs.
Please don't interrupt the meeting.
