10. Textile Scaffold

I am writing this week's work under my NDA folder due to confidential work for TOYOTA.

Learning outcomes

• Research skills: the participant has acquired knowledge through references and Concept development
• Design skills: the participant has learnt through sketches, 3D modeling skills, mould design
• Fabrication skills: the participant is able of executing from file to production workflow, through 3D modelling, 3D milling (optional) or lasercutting, crystal growing or casting
• Process skills: Anyone can go through the process, understand it and reproduce it
• Final outcome: Various samples created using different techniques
• Originality - Aesthetics: Has the design been thought through and elaborated?

Student checklist

• Document the concept, sketches, references also to artistic and scientific publications

• Produce 2 techniques of textile scaffold choosing from the following:

  • fabric formwork with casting
  • crystallization
  • wood-textiles composite
  • resin & bioresin -textiles composite
  • leather molding
  • other
  • Document the process including the step-by-step instructions on software, machine, mold making, vaccum forming and textile composites

• Upload your design and fabrication files, including the 3D model and CAM file when possible

• Document at least 2 processes from design to prototyping, fabrication, materials used, document your achievements and unexpected outcomes
• Make a stop motion of your crystal growth or use 3D modeling software to simulate your design (extra credit)

Research

As always, there were so many learning points from lecture by Anastasia.
Here under are the points that I want to refer for my project.

Considering my final project, I am curious about "wood processing technics".

CNC machine operation

I had a lecture by Rico to operate the CNC machine in Skylab workshop.

First, switch on the CNC controller next to CNC machine.

Switch on the CNC control units both.

CNC arms can be moved manually by pressing the PC arrow keys.
Press arrow key with Fn key to move down the endmill position.

To start CNC, place arms to the home position by clicking "Home All" icon and press the track pad left down edge.

Arms are set at the Home Position.

Fix the object to be milling with screws.
Basically, milling object are fixed by screw against the sacrifice board.

Open G-Code for milling the object.

Simulate the endmill path to check if there is no conflicts.

Operate endmill starting position by manually until the paper stuck thickness.

endmill manual operation should be done gradually by changing moving rage from 10mm range to 0.1mm range at the end.

After the endmill set the starting position by checking with paper thickness (paper stuck), set all XYZ channel as 0.000mm.

Check milling size if the endmill path travels within the object. Be careful that the endmill is not touching the fixed screws.

Cover the endmill with vacuum hose and brushes.

Run the job.

about your images..delete the tip!!

1. Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster together, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.

2. remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :)

This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation. Remove tips when you don't need them anymore!
