Today’s tutorial with Paul WIlgeroth was quite insightful. Previous to my tutorial, Paul had already approved my report proposal, though after finishing the proposal, I haven’t actually started the body of the work. Paul could sense that I was a little wary about starting and I discussed my worries about the project with him, mainly […]
Over the last few days, I have begun my technical report – “The Development of Additive Manufacture” and I have been able to complete about 1000 words of the dissertation. I have been able to finish my first chapter about the different methods of 3D printing. I have been finding it an interesting challenge to write […]
Today has been a rather long day, of what turned out to be a rather pointless endeavour. I attended the London Science Museum’s exhibit on 3D printing which promised a great deal of interesting information on the subject of 3D printing. However upon turning up after a 4 hour coach journey and about an hour […]
This past week I have decided to dedicate to the technical report. After my tutorial with Paul on Monday, I felt like I might be falling behind and so I set myself the goal of completing the second chapter of a total of five chapters. On Tuesday I was able to finally sort my problems […]
Today I completed another interim viva in front of my tutorial group. Overall, I feel the viva was quite successful, though I did feel a little under prepared as I had not rehearsed the presentation a great deal. Unfortunately, as I was concerned about remembering what I was saying, I said “Uh” and “Umm” a […]
This weekend I have been mulling over some of the prospects for creating a design utilising the research I have attained within my technical report. Overall, I concluded that the future of 3D printing was customisable products, where a product can be customised for each user and created easily using a 3D printer. My current […]
Today, I have had both my tutorial with Bethan discussing my work on my product design prototypes and my tutorial discussing my technical report design ideas with Paul. Bethan was keen that I further experimented with my prototypes to identify which design elements were successful and which could be cut. She agreed that whilst individually […]
Today I have been thinking a little more about what I could be doing for the technical report design section. The idea of glasses came up when talking to a few people, where the glasses could be printed for the size of the wearer’s face instead of having a standard size. Whether this would be […]
Over the past few days, I have been pondering the idea of creating 3D printed crutches of some sort for the technical report design section. Having crutches which would fit the user’s hands and dimensions could be a really useful idea, though I am unsure about the reality of printing such objects . I have […]
Today I have decided to divert my attention to my product design work until the end of the project. I feel as though my product design work really needs more work and I simply haven’t got the time to work on both of the projects and if I tried, I am pretty sure that neither […]
