DELLOS' CARS


Those are the three cars, the winner is the first one (Paola's car), the second one is Brenda's car, and the red car is mine.


In this picture we can see that Paola's car is cupe, my proposal and brenda's are "descapotado". The best model is Paola's car, and we are going to work with the z corp and with the print with Pao's car.



This is my car. It is a "descapotado" model. According to the survey, people prefer to use it in the city.




This is Brenda's car. Here we can see her proposal and it looks like a retro but modern car.



This is Pao's car and I think it is the best. As I said before we are going to work with this car for the final project.





In this picture we can see that there are many changes in the Pao's proposal.

Reflection April 1

This sesion was one of the most interesting because we made our Termoformado with our cars. I thought that it was going to take more time but at the end it tood only 15 minutes. We had to "lijar" our cars and after that we made a holes around the car in order to get the propertly geometry. Now we have to pint our cars and make a survey in order to choose the best model.

Reflection march 25th

In this week we started to use the Z print 2.6. We got some instructions that are necesary to use the printer. For example, at the begining we have to select the units we want to work with. As weel as we have to justify our file, this mean if we want to transform, justify, or leave the model back at the bottom. Before to send the work we have to select the printer, that printer is called Zprinter310offline. In the evaluation process if suddenly appear some triangles in black means that there will be problems. Also we can get a print time estimated. In the machine that is in the room upstairs I could se that glue is in the tank at the top. An for the correct use of the machine and for get a good work we have to use others instruments like filter, hoover, resina and hardener.

Reflection March 18th 2009

The last sesion we set up our machining with the Modela Player Machine. Firtable we placed in the same file the three different proposals, one mine, brenda's and Paola's. it is essential to do that because with that file we will be able to work with the machining and with this file also we are going to be able to set up all the parameters for the exercise. The three cars were joined in the same file in Rheno, after that they were exported to STL files and then they were validated with VizCam View.



Here we start to set up the configurations of our machining. As you can see the three propousals are now in the same file. we have to be careful because our car´s size are ver small compared with the others. So that was the reason that we have to select a especific tool to make the machining.






Everything is ready to do the machining. As I said before we chose a 6 in tool because it is a small car and also because one of the cars has a different depth in the middle. We made the machining the last friday and everything ran with no problem.

Reflection 8th week

In this session we used the cnc machine. We got some advices how to use it, and some instructions for the propertly functioning of the machine. Before starting to use it, it is important to calibrate and try to find the center of the object. Also it is important set the machine in the correct way fitting the screws.
