03 | 3D Printing & Laser Cutting
Matti is away for this week to work on this project, so you will be working with the workshop masters and assistants during this week.
Video Tutorials for the Whole Week
These tutorials will guide you on how to model one part for the robot that we will use the following week. Make sure you do this before the Thursday’s class so that you can go print your part in the 3D Print Workshop.
Make sure you have installed Autodesk Fusion if you would loke to follow along.
Sorry everyone, it has been very long days at the theatre and I have not managed to create the tutorials. Please just download and print one of these parts at the workshop.
Of course, if you know how to 3D model in CAD, you can create your customized version as well. Important things are that it has mounting holes for our sensor:
And other mounting holes for the robot chassis.
Monday: 3D Printing
15:15–17:00 3D Print Workshop
Hector or some of the assistants at 3D Print Workshop are going to give you an introduction on how to work in the workshop and how to prepare your files.
If you have some time to already print something, the people in the workshop will probably give you something to print or you can print one of these parts for the Robot we build the following week:
Download the 3D printable file. (This is a very simple part so it shouldn’t take too long to print.)
On Thursday, you can print your own customized version of this.
Go directly to the 3D Print Workshop, we will not work in Mechatronics today.
Tuesday: Laser Cutting
13:15–17:00 Laser Cutter Introduction by Janne Ojala
Janne will show you how to work with the laser cutter. We have some materials available if you want to try cutting something as an exercise.
Thursday: Independent Work
On Thursday, I would like you to go to the 3D Print workshop with your own custom model that you made for the robots. Print it out.
Or you can also experiment with laser cutting some other parts.
Or work on developing your project idea, do some research on what you would like to work on.
