Digital Making: Tray

Week 4: Tray

After deciding the angle of the tray, started to cut two pieces of wood in round corner with the same angle chosen, then sheer the metal into the same round corner.

Start by the corner of the metal, carefully smashed it down, then apply same strength beside the round corner. Keep trimming the exceed metal and keep smashing it until the basic shape comes out.

Carefully work on the edges and folded spot in the corner. And sand it at last.

Here comes the result:

D irect sunlight creates an intense modelling with harsh shadows and its direction during the course of the day ha s a major impact. T he consideration of daylight capitalizing on the resulting efficiencies, is about much more than energy efficiency. The mixed-use nature of the buildings s p otlighting the reflective, shimmering and transparent qualities of glass pro...

Assignment 2: Tank (testings, assemble and division)

Summary: We went through a lot of testings to approach the final 'skeleton' template, that includes joints testing and paper masking testing. JOINTS TESTING Having the laser cut files ready, we started by testing the joints between each pieces. Different thickness of the joint gap we chose to test out, from 2.5mm-3mm. Testing on small joints, we decided to use 2.6mm thickness gap, and apply to the laser cut files. Here is the laser cutting video taken by Jin: ASSEMBLE FAILED Started out FIRST attempt of assembling, found out that the 2.6mm gap is too small to fit all the pieces together, then our skeleton was broken. :( Below: the broken template Paper masking testing: While we were waiting for the new laser cut template (changed to 3mm gap instead), we used 200gsm paper to cover up the broken template and test out the approximate shape of the fuel tank. ASSEMBLE SUCCESS So we tried our ...
