Phone holder
movable -
The assignment this week started with the hands-on, minds-on activity on Monday session. The idea was to create a phone holder with Fusion 360 and the laser-cut machine.
I got inspired from the Robotic arms

For my phone holder, I started by drawing, then I moved on to the cardboard prototypes and took the appropriate measurements to make it easier for me to sketch it in Fusion.
Don't forget, save the file as DXF file
Now let's manufacture:
First, prepare the DXF file for the laser cutter before the fabrication begins. Using Rdworks,
I imported the dxf files and arranged them so as to decrease the amount of waste.
Check the settings of the speed and power as they were from the last assignment. I saved the file in.rld format.
In the final step, I saved the file from (SavetoUFile) and there it was ready to put in the laser cutter.
laser cutting
The machine starts scanning first.
Then it's time to start cutting the outer boards into pieces.
Finally, we assemble them together with screws and nuts.
fellows
Farida helped me export my files to the laser cut machine.
Ahmed needs to know how he can rotate an image or shape in RDworks, so I showed him how he can do it. It's simple, just double click on the body you need to select, then the icon for rotating will show below the shape.
I faced a problem with construction lines in RD. Mai showed me how to delete it without deleting the main lines
It took me so much time to figure out how to delete the constraints lines and break them without damaging the main shape. Mai helped me and she showed me the tool that makes this (break the curve)
below the photo there is youtube link how you can do it
cutting while shortening the distances between objects.
design the body for my final project, and I can see the details in it before the manufacturing process.
We can type, design, and edit shapes with RDworks.
