AUTODESK FORCE EFFECT MOTION
We found this very handy app, this seems to be an ideal tool for the various mechanical problems we are facing in the course, we have to ask for a set of IPads ...maybe thats something also to combine with the structural mechanics part of the course ...
BUILDING WEEKS - SOME LAST PICTURES
We would not miss to show you the last pictures we have taken during the last 2 days, it was a very busy time and nearly all the projects are ready, or at least have reached a point where only fine tuning is needed, so nothing that cant be fixed the next weeks till the 1st of July for the Finals.
Its everytime amazing seeing the different parts come together and form a prototype, sometimes it was hard to get what it will be at the end, but now it becomes more and more visible. We are impressed by the progress of the projects and the variety of concepts and production technologies involved. Having this semesters topic focussed on textile sunshades under the guidance of Romazo it also opened a total new set of possibilities. We saw next to the more commom techniques like, cutting, milling, drilling and laser cutting also sewing, weaving, net knotting and we also started with 3D printing, having a Printer available via the CAD course which arrived just in time ( ok 4 month too late ..) but at least so much in time, that some students were able to print their parts already on the new printer.
So here some last pictures from the last days. The weather was very supportive and when we packed the boxes the sun was smiling ....finally !

COPYING SMALL PARTS SAFE
we love jigs, some little helpers that makes the work easier and safer....this time we made a plexiglas holder to have a safe grip for a small piece that is copied 15 times on our Festool CMS Router table...
worked perfectly and to be honest, its the first time we are able to film it so close.
A FIRST GLIMPSE WHAT TO COME
here a first peek of one of the prototypes. In this case its from Hanife and Tyrza. The whole unit will be later placed in a frame and can be controlled with two sliders.
BUILDING WEEKS DAY 9 - THE END
just one picture today, we cleaned the tent, rolled down the mobile workshop and just in time the tent was already taken away. Its such a sad moment, seeing our home dissapearing ...more pics the next days.
