This week's assignment was to prepare design of pens holder and fabricate models for 3D Printing and Laser Cutting
why this design?
choose this design to be Suitable for the office, in addition to having a place for mobile , papers amd sticknots
Die cut
Idea sketch
cardboard prototype
For laser cutting
machine : cnc laser cut
software :- laserwork
materials : mdf wood 3mm
software :- fusion 360 to design
side 1
Front
Tslot dimension
joint
side 2
bottom
extrude
save to dxf
for preparing the design of pens holder :
I first prepared the idea and prepared its dimensions through the search
I used fusion 360
made new component
choose the front to sketch the first part and sketch the T slot and taps
define all lines
then using extrude to made the sketch 3d ( 3 mm )
then made new component to sketch the second part and follow the same previous steps
then made joint with two parts
follow the same previous steps to made all parts and joint all parts
then using appearance to add color to design
finally saved the file as DXF to cut by cnc laser machine
for prepre the file for laser cut machine ( laserwork)
I downloaded the file as .dxf file
I mported the file to the LaserWorks
I Adjust dimensions then Chose the shapes that I want to cut
I adjusted the speed and power properties for each layer according to the machine's recommended settings
( cut : speed : 25 , power : 65 )
( sped cut : speed :150 , power 25 )
( scan : speed : 300 , power 25 )
Finally , saved the file as .rd
I asked the specialist if the parameters' settings are correct or not
downloaded the file from the PC to the laser cutter
put a wood sheet in the machine
placed the origin point
check the focus
choose the file
finally , run it
Final result
Idon't need Tslot in this part (middle part ) it cases congestion so to solve this proplem I must delete it
before
after
i should delete the Tslot
the previous knowledge and skills I had learned this week will reflect a lot of benefits on the final project, for instance,
drawing the design on fusion 360 , assemble the parts by joint it
how to use parcet and T-slot
we have a wonderful extra session in resin I as so excited with it and we try to make a piece of domino and coster
thansks to menna for the greatest presentaion for this topic
choose this piece because my birthday is on 5/5 :D
we are asked to design Lantern , I trayed with my team to do design it using fusion 360
Tried to make mobile holder using cardboard on monday session
