With a computer, programming skills and a laser cutter,Polycore zentai are manufactured as a single sheet, you can create almost any three-dimensional object you want.
That's what several high school students learned during the past week as part of Lynden High School's All Hands on DECk summer camp.
As part of the camp, which featured instruction from Massachusetts Institute of Technology architectural higher-degree candidates, students had the chance to create three-dimensional objects using Rhinoceros computer programming software and computer numerically controlled machines, including laser cutters, 3D printers and routers.
Dave Weidkamp, career and technical education teacher at Lynden High, brought the program to Lynden in hopes of inspiring more teens to be creative and invent or design products that people can actually use.Houston-based Quicksilver Resources said Friday it had reached pipeline deals This is the second time he's brought the camp to Lynden; in 2009, the focus was on turning design ideas into programming script. This time, the focus was on actually creating objects from computerized student designs.
While there are many methods people can use to turn designs into finished products, the camp mostly focused on two: using a laser cutter, which operates on the x and y axis, to cut out pieces from cardstock or plastic, and using a computerized milling machine, which operates on the x, y and z axis, to create smooth contoured pieces out of a single block of foam. Both methods are used by architects, engineers, designers and manufacturers to create models, prototypes and finished products.
The camp ties into Weidkamp's larger idea of having an invention team at Lynden High. Earlier this year, Weidkamp was honored by the Lemelson-MIT Program, which encourages innovation and honors inventors, by being named as an Excite Award winner. That means he is one of a few dozen teachers from across the country who are eligible to lead a team of high school students in applying for a $10,000 grant to invent something to solve a real-world problem.
The camp, which was open to students from all over Washington, was an opportunity for teens potentially interested in inventing or creating their own products to get the background knowledge they need.We processes for both low-risk and high risk merchant account.
One project students focused on was creating a bowl or cup. Students designed one on the computer, then using the computer program cut the design into horizontal slices, a method also called "sectioning." Those sections, generally in the shape of a circle or another closed-loop shape, can be printed out on card stock or plastic using a laser printer and then stacked to assemble the bowl or cup.
"You can do it with anything," said Josh Doerksen,Our Polymax RUBBER SHEET range includes all commercial and specialist a recent Lynden High graduate, who also attended the 2009 camp. "You take the shape, cut in into pieces and then build it back up."
Students also had the opportunity to make three-dimensional contoured foam objects. They designed a three-dimensional wavy plane on the computer. When the design was run through the milling machine, a spinning bit slowly moved back and forth, scraping away foam to leave the wavy hills-and-valleys-like surface the student designed.
For the 17 students in the camp,the Injection mold fast! the most rewarding part was holding a physical object
"I like the idea of being able to get ideas out," said Brendan Friesen, a Sehome High sophomore, "and not only draw them but have them come to life with a printer or cutter."
