Pro/DESKTOP |
- Draw a 3D view of the school stage and then build in the scenery
for a play of your own choice. Remember scenery is painted on flats
which are large boards which can have doors and windows in them.
|
|
- Design a house with all the floors, rooms, windows, doors etc. Draw
it to real life scale i.e. 1::1. Export the design into the album
and render all the surfaces inside and out.
|
|
- Design automata ( Mechanical Toy) using levers and/or concentric
cams. Make sure it can move and perform as expected. Now produce an
animation by using either Prodesktop itself or by exporting a series
of GIF file to another program such as - XARA X.
|
|
- Investigate "lofting through profiles" and produce drawings
of - a computer mouse, an ice cream cone, a flying saucer.
|
|
- Investigate revolve around axis. Produce drawings of an apple, a
wine bottle with cork, a wine glass, a cup (try to add a handle).
|
The
Laser Cutter |
- Use 2D Design. Design a money-box made from 5mm acrylic sheet. It
must clip together without glue. As the money enters it must either
operate a mechanism animating something on the money-box or operate
an electronic circuit with an interesting output.
|
|
- Convert the automata drawing to 2D Design and cut it out to produce
the real product.

Smart
Materials |
- Research smart materials. Link
to Smart Materials
- Use a piece of Nitinol to make either a latch, an automatic roller,
or lifting arm. Think of another use for the wire.
|
|
- Use paper roll tubes and an empty drinks can to make a low voltage
bedside or study lamp (battery operated). You will also need 4mm nuts
and bolts, a switch, wire and a lamp.
|
|
- Research ergonomics. Design and modify a mug to make it easier to
use for a person with stiff hand joints. Use polymorph to mould the
modified handle.
