Week 8 – Fusion 360 CAM for mould-making and casting
Design Rules for CNC/casting Most important is to know your cutter shape and size. Any features have to be designed in accordance to the diameter of the cutter as this will restrict how far and deep the slots between features can be. Try and keep the cutter as big as possible as it will reduce […]
Week 7 – 3D scanning and printing
3d Scanning can be done in multiple ways and at multiple price points, either with handheld scanner for an iPad all the way up to full systems, e.g for car manufactures to scan clay cars.

It seems fairly easy to use them, although the mounting of these components, via soldering is vastly different to through hole components. Through hole components have the obvious advantage of being […]
Week 3 : Laser cutter: computer-controlled cutting (CNC)
Task: Produce a press fit kit (accounting for kerf) using the laser cutter Making the Design The main aim is to use parametric design software to ‘simplify the process’. Being able to edit the sketch automatically by adding parameters and using these to dimension the sketch instead of manually changing them. First step was to […]
