Lab 2

Part A

For lab 2 we started working with creating object and putting them into an extension of fusion 360 called slicer. I started off with a word design that was manipulated through different points, I wanted it to look different from the side view but have the word be readable in the front view.

I loaded the Rhino file into Fusion 360 in order to align the words and then I sent it to Slicer in order to make a printable sheet for the words.

In Slicer I was able to manipulate the way the slices where going to be made by changing the angles in the program and look at the step by step process of making it after lazer cutting the pieces. I did struggle with the sizing of the pieces at first, I had to print the entire thing again because my scaling wasn’t correct but in the end it came out correctly.

The final outcome was actually really nice compared to how long it took me in connecting all the pieces. I used hot glue in order to secure some of the pieces but it was mostly joined together by the way the cutting layout was made.

Lab 2 part B

Part B was about modeling a couple more objects to create an actual living space where the first object in part A would live. My object was made to live on a shelf with other collectibles similar to what this object is about, and that was mainly BTS.

I made a simple display case in a way that could fit on my shelf that also included ARMY, which is the name of the fan base, as well as the logo that was created for this group. I also 3D printed the object where it will actually now live on my shelf.

Lab 2 Part C

Part c of the lab was to create at least 3 joints from the 50 Wood Joints given to us and test them out. I decided to test out A Halved Dovetail corner and a finger tenons.

These were the Rhino files where created variations of the joints I was going to lazer cut. I struggled a little getting the 90 degree one to work and look the way I wanted it to look. In the end it came out perfect.

These were square finger joints that made puzzle pieces that did not make a box but left people a little confused.

This was another variation of the finger joints, but I made them interlock in a 90 degree angle so it would look like doors or wings.

This is the Halved Dovetail corner I made, it had no real purpose but to test out how it worked to cut the shapes. It does make for a good book mark or can become a nice frame.
