BEIL0014 DIGITAL MAKING

INTRODUCTION This week, I learned how to make more complex shapes through further study. We will use the aluminum sheet to strike a tray that resembles the shape of a mobile phone cover. Then combine the two people's works together in a small group to make the two trays fit together perfectly. The image shows the final work I have been done in this week. Top view Bottom view In the following content, I will show all the steps that how to make the aluminum sheet become a tray. STEP 1 First, I will use the pre-prepared arc template to draw the arc on the plank. The size of the arc will determine how difficult it is to hit the aluminum sheet. So I used the smallest arc to make the tray, which will show how good I can made the tray. Arc template Draw the arc on the plank Finish drawing STEP 2 Use the sand machine to polish the extra parts along the drawn lines. The polished plank will be used as a grinding tool for striking the tray.

INTRODUCTION This week we were going to increase the metal making skills, which was creating an aluminum sheet to adhere to the contours of a torus/reversed curve. In this way, to make the aluminum sheet is bent in different directions. The image shows the final work I have been done in this week. Top view Bottom view In the following content, I will show all the steps that how to make the aluminum sheet become a torus. STEP 1 Firstly, make the aluminum sheet is wrapped on a cylindrical abrasive tool and then bent so that the aluminum sheet is tightly attached to the abrasive tool. Cylindrical abrasive tool Cylindrical abrasive tool analysis Aluminum sheet is wrapped on a cylindrical abrasive tool STEP 2 Use the metal hammer to strike the middle of the aluminum sheet to make it concave and match the notch of the abrasive tool. By constantly moving, make the middle portion of the entire aluminum sheet is recessed and two sides are kept i

INTRODUCTION This week we were going to use a 200mm x 200mm aluminum sheet that strike it to became a metal bowl. follow this project, we were going to learn how to use the basis way to change the metal shape. The image shows the final work I have been done in this week. Bottom view Top view In the following content, I will show all the steps that how to make the aluminum sheet become a bowl. STEP 1 I am going to use the laser cut machine to cut the bass wood, which going to be the bowl template consisting of a series of concentric rings. Concentric rings Then create a "radius gauge" to help guide and evaluate the progress. It will be use later. Radius gauge STEP 2 Using the c oncentric rings to draw the sign on the  aluminum sheet , which we can clearly to see the part we need to strike. Draw the sign the metal Finishing work STEP 3 I am going to use the metal cutter follow the sign to cut the aluminum shee
