Assignment Six:
SOMETHING BIG
Skills Learnt
More modeling tools introduced which included Google Sketch up, Corel Draw, and AutoCAD
Got acquainted with the shop bot, basics of its operation as well as using part works
Fabrication
Table
Press fit table made
Two flat top panel pieces made were made to be press fitted into two side panels
Two side panels were made with slots into which the flat panel pieces would fit into
The entire table’s component pieces were cut out from wooden board material
Challenges
Setting problems with the shop bot led to a 0.5 inch error in the final outcome of the cut out pieces
Negatively affected by the error were the press fit slots that eventually had to be hack sawed for the
flat panels to fit into them
It took some figuring out to fit into place realistic dimensions that were up to reasonable scale
Due compatibility problems, I gave up learning Google Sketch Up and was aided to complete the drawings
in CorelDraw
