Printing processes

Locking mechanism The joints had to be such that they can be loosened and tightened at any required configuration, this obstacle was overcome by the use of wing nut at the end of the screw instead of a normal nut, and the image below shows the wing nut and bolt. This is the most cost effective yet strong way of locking the joints compared to knobs and other clamp mechanisms. Materials For the Robot Arm Construction our group members had a variety of materials to choose from, these materials…

When you buy a new toy or piece of furniture, the process of creating and producing the item is longer than you may think. From sketching to making a three dimensional layout on the computer, industrial designers use many diverse skills to create everyday products. As mentioned in the skills and abilities section of O*NET OnLine, industrial designers “develop and design manufactured products, such as cars, home appliances, and children's toys. Combine artistic talent with research on product use…

Although every culture is unique in it’s own way, there is something that unites every culture together: Self expression allows for cultural unity amongst diverse groups of people. This may be seen in many different forms such as dance, art, oral language or writing. Whatever it may be, things such as writing have the power to unite different cultures from even the most remote parts of the world. Writing has been modified through centuries, and today, is something that has become a very useful…

Military: - 3D printing technology has the potential to play a crucial role in combat. Military applications often need custom designed and miniaturized units. 3D printing can support rapid production and development to fulfill the specialized functional requirements of the military. Army is already using 3D printing in combat zones. 3D printing can influence strategies and tactics of future aerial combat and Air Force is looking into the advanced manufacturing capabilities that 3D printing has…

This document will describe two minority cultural populations living within Washington State, Japanese and Hispanic or Latino, embracing three conventional characteristics, family, arts, and holidays; in addition to similarities and differences, finally, application in the classroom. Japanese Japanese culture is abundant and diverse, dating back to 10,000BC when the Jomon immigrate originally colonized in Japan; it is universally recognized for its traditional arts in addition to its…

Plastics (Phenolic resins, Epoxy resins, Polyesters and Polyurethanes) are materials which make up the objects which we use in our everyday lives such as phones, cars, cooking utensils, computers and shoes, (http://www.slideshare.net). Plastics are a group of material which can either be synthetic or naturally occurring. Plastics are considered as polymers a substance which has a molecular structure with a large number of units bonded together, (http://www.chemheritage.org). Most plastics are…

Have you ever wondered where you will end up in the future? Where you want to be, who you want to be, or what you want to do? When I grow up, I want to work at Pixar making the scenes and characters that you see in the animated movies. It’s a long road to get there, but it’s one that I’m willing to take. To create the movies you see in the theaters, Pixar uses Blender (not the one on the kitchen counter), Gimp, and many physical art forms too. Blender is where you create the models, animate…

easier for citizens to get information because technology was advancing. The printing press had already been invented but there were advancements made to make the machine more efficient. It became power driven making it easier to print more in a smaller amount of time. Offset printing became popular for books and magazines so that they could be in color. By 1950, the internet came along and computers revolutionized printing which also made the spread of information much easier. Through all of…

The Printing press started an era of education and freedom, starting in Mainz, Germany with its creator Gutenberg. The Printing press was the first mechanical printing system that allowed the general public, and even the lower classes, access to books. Locations of the printing press boomed from 1471 to 1500 showing all of the information being spread in different locations. (DOC A) Due to the printing press, many changes and new discoveries were able to happen. Two important consequences of the…

My idea for this assignment is to use the “Architectural Origami” technique to show the relationship between the 2D & 3D patterns that appeared on the corner between two walls at the stairs way close to the first floor. The “Architectural Origami” technique is a technique that uses cutting and folding of a piece of paper to create the Architectural forms. The basic pattern that I used in this assignment are cuboid and cube. For the 3D patterns, I used a 22’’*30’’ Bristol board to make a…
