On today's lesson we were doing our lamps. I had some trouble with putting two parts together.
I've finished my aluminum piece and timber piece, I needed just to put these two together so that they are connected. But the problem was that they were on different angle and I don't know how to make them be on the same angle. So, on the next class I will have to borrow a book and look it up.

Term 2 questions.
Design Technology questions.
CAD stands fro Computer-Aided Design
A prototype is an early sample or model built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from. It's important because that us how you can check whether your project is going to work or not. If not, how can you fix it and make it better.
Rapid Prototyping (RP) enables the quick fabrication of physical models using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. Used in a wide range of industries, Rapid prototyping allows companies to turn innovative ideas into successful end products rapidly and efficiently.
before rapid-prototyping, prototype should be sketched. To see the elementary design of all the details of the machine(project)
Additive manufacturing or 3D printing[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model.
CNC means Computer Numerical Control. This means a computer converts the design produced by Computer Aided Design software (CAD), into numbers. The numbers can be considered to be the coordinates of a graph and they control the movement of the cutter. In this way the computer controls the cutting and shaping of the material.
A STL file is a format used by Stereolithography software to generate information needed to produce 3D models on Stereolithography machines.In fact, the extension "stl" is said to be derived from the word "Stereolithography." The surface of an object is broken into a logical series of triangles. Each triangle is uniquely defined by its normal and three points representing its vertices.

On last lesson we were doing our lamps on ProDesktop. I had a bit of trouble with it. I had a small piece on the top of my sketch, which was not connected to other two parts( profile and path) that's why I couldn't make my profile go along the path to create an aluminum piece of my lamp.
But when I saw it and deleted it, everything was good.
That what I got at the end of the lesson.
On today's lesson, I'll probably start doing my timber piece which is a base of my lamp.

On today's lesson Mr Andrews was away. He left the work for us to do. Which is to finish our IPhones and then start working on our lamps.
I finished doing my IPhone and started working on the design of my lamp. But unfortunately I had just time to make a shape of my lamp.
Next lesson I will work on the shape of my lamp and the actual lamp.

Term 2. 1st post
This term we are working on the program called ProDesktop. It's a computer program that creates 3D projects. For last couple of lessons we were practicing our skills in the program. We've designed a pull toy, an IPhone and couple of others. For our assignment we have to hand it all the projects that we've done so far, plus the design of our lamps that we created last term.
I was so confused with making design of my IPhone, but I think it's all good now.
We also have questions that we have to answer, which then will help us to write a 500-words paragraph about design technology and the ProDesktop.
I nearly finished my iPhone, I think I'll need 10 minutes on the next lesson to finish it and them I'll start working on my lamp.
I'm also half trough the questions.
