Composites

Composite myself

This week i will try to cast myself from composite shape. I think this because, i fine way to demonstrate the 3D scanning and printing in may Fablab was 3D scanning people and print them. So how can i show the power and the simplicity of the composites week to the people and to myself :)

When i have been in Fab10 Jordi Martín from makersandbits.com have scan myself and here was the result.

When i have my first 3d Printer Beeverycreative i print myself and i show the possibilities to the mayor of my town and it was incredible, he goes from office to office for all building showing it.

So i cut myself :) in NetFabbBasic because it is very easy to cut stl.

Then in use meshmixer to make an offset of the face like a second skin with 1mm offset. I use Make solid command.

Machining time

So with the 3D file i can go to the Aspire and to the Ouplan machine to play with it. :)

Composite time

For this part i use this epoxy. Is a clear cast one. I mix them with the hardener like says the datasheet

Then it’s just apply.

And here it is the fiber composite part.
