This project was based around moving homes constantly. Our aim was to produce collapsible furniture that could be easily adapted to everyday life and small spaces that students and the like would normally have to live in.

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 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 […]
Week 2 : CAD, Manufacturing and Modelling
The task this week was to make on Fusion 360 a version of our tile, render it and display it as a pattern of 9. Method Start new sketch > Draw 100 x 100 mm square using corner to corner rectangle tool > Exit sketch Extrude 13mm with a taper of 4 degrees (minimum required […]
Solidworks Notes
Help Menu > Solidworks tutorials is a good place to go if stuck GrabCAD is an online source of downloadable CAD files which can help you to learn how they made a model – with the feature tree you can see every step of them making the model I have used Lynda.com to start learning […]
Dice making Fusion 360
Making the dice is about learning Fusion 360 and using as many different techniques as possible My original method is as follows: Sketch 10×10 square > Extrude up 10mm > draw on dots by either using the pattern tool and deleting the extras or using the construction line at a diagonal and making equal circles […]
Fusion 360 Notes
Everything must have a dimension to lock it in place- blue lines indicate something that hasn’t been dimensioned Coincident – Where two points join together Concentric – Have the centre in the same location, share the same centre point. Co-linear – Same angle of a line for example Co-radial – same radius for the same […]
