On this week i try to make composite by using formbot and epoxy.
Actually i design dish plate in solidWorks. After i cut it by using shopbot.
SolidWorks Design
After designing in solidWorks i try to save it in STL file in in order to get my shape in VCalve software editor.
ShopBot and Vcalve
Before i make 3D roughing cut. I try to cut frame which have same measurement with my dish plate in order to allow me to flip my frame.
After cutting the frame on same size with my dish plate i design it looklike this.
After cutting that frame i try to insert That STL file i was generate in Vcalve in order to make 3D roughing cut.
This top view of dish plate on vcarve
This bottom view of dish plate on vcarve after fliping
This image below it show the toolpath of each layer on top view of my dish plate
This image below it show the toolpath of each layer on bottom view of my dish plate
Now it start to make 3D roughing. This how it look like.
Now after making 3D roughing on top view. i am going to flip my plate and then make 3D roughing on bottom view.
After making 3D roughing i try to mix both component A and B of epoxy.In order to make full assignment(composite).
For mixing i take 100g of component A mix with 30g of component B in order to make balance.
As you see this plate it does not attached vry well.
Here i try to solve problem i was show above by putting another material on the edges.and staff for fixing layers.
After fixing i waiting like one hour for dry and then i remove that stuff for fixing.
This is how it look like.
After finishing my assignment i put some food like cake on my dish plate.
conclusion from this assignment of wild card which is introduced materials mostly i haven't used before
like epoxy with hardener and fiber,
though my work finnishing i have used lamination process in compression as well as clamps to make it fitting
and also demolding process i have used cooking oil to demold well without mistake
it is my first time using epoxy and fiber so i have learnt about mixing epoxy with hardener
their work behaviours and also i have learnt how to make a 3d object on cnc which i had no enough time
to cover from recent assignment so i learn more
