Thu, Jan 29 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Today I kept going with my desktop organizer and I fixed an issue there was with the front vert.
Thu, Jan 29 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I continued modeling the desktop organizer
Tue, Jan 27 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I continued modeling the desktop organizer.
Tue, Jan 27 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I finished the large triangle.
Week 6
Fri, Jan 23 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I extruded the front parts and made the back, bottom and back verts. I extruded them and became more familiar with the the combine tool and using the extrude tool to cut the joints. I also got started on the large triangle.
Fri, Jan 23 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I finished most parts of the front sketch.
Wed, Jan 21 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today I started on the front sketch, there were some problems with my sketch for the left/right hand side (missing a joint), so I had to fix that first.
Wed, Jan 21 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework I finished the sketch of the left hand side, then copied and pasted to make the right side, using the joint command to set the distance.
Week 5
Sat, Jan 17 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, we got started on the sketch for the left hand side of the desktop organizer. The dimensions are really precise so I wasn’t able to finish all of it in the 50 minutes but I will watch the videos and try and finish the sketch for homework.
Sat, Jan 17 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I had already finished modeling the LED lamp so there was no homework.
Thu, Jan 15 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I glued on my metal plates using epoxy and assembled the upper/lower horizontal arms of the lamp. I also assembled the base plate and base verts with wood glue, and sanded down my bigger base plate so the edges are smooth.
Thu, Jan 15 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I already had my parts all modeled and cut out so I didn’t have homework.
Tue, Jan 13 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I cut out my base plate and base verts and began to assemble the lamp.
Tue, Jan 13 HW – Image and description of completed homework
no homework
Week 4
Fri, Jan 9 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I modeled the base plate and cut out my lower arm horizontal parts.
Fri, Jan 9 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I position the base plate and the base verts, preparing them for laser cutting, through this I got more familiar with the joint tools and how to use it in fusion properly.
Wed, Jan 7 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today I finished my lower arm by extruding the holes. Then, I made the base plate and base verticals so I’m now more familiar with using the fusion tools like tangent, offset and trim.
Wed, Jan 7 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework I followed the 2 videos and learnt how to use the combine tool and sketch the holes onto my lower horizontal arm.
Winter Break 12/19/25 – 1/5/26
Week 3
Tues, Dec 18 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Thu, Dec 18 HW – Image and description of completed homework
no homework
Tues, Dec 16 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
sanded down our upper arm parts to remove the burnt parts and improve the look, then we used epoxy to stick the small magnets into the holes. afterwards we started our homework.
Tue, Dec 16 HW – Image and description of completed homework
After I extruded my lower arm, I used the joint functions to attach the small metal plates to the sides of the upper arm, then I learnt how to use the joint function again to attach the lower arm pieces to my upper arm, putting all the separate components together to form a big one. The joint command was a bit tricky and confusing at times because it was hard to always be in the right orientation.
Week 2
Fri, Dec 12 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I used the laser cutter and printed out the parts for my upper arm and upper horizontal arm, reviewing how to set up the machines and learning to use Rhino V7 to format my sketch so it fits on the wood. Then we started working on homework.
Fri, Dec 12 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I made the lower arm sketch which was very similar to that of the upper arm, using functions like circular and rectangular pattern as well as coincident. Then, I made 2 small circles for the metal plates which I then had to extrude. I also used functions like tangent and fillet.
Wed, Dec 10 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
We saved our sketches for the upper arm so they are ready to be cut, and we also learnt how to properly and safely use the laser cutter (Rhino version 7) for when we cut our upper arm piecesI started working on the lower arm.
Wed, Dec 10 HW – Image and description of completed homework
made the upper horizontal piece by using the coincident function and then extruding, then I learnt how to use the combine tool.
Mon, Dec 8 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
We assembled the LED lamp – from the sketch we did in homework, we learnt how to use the fillet tool and more importantly the circular and rectangular pattern functions to create the holes in the lamp. We also learnt how to use the coincident feature to align all the rectangular holes. Then we extruded to create a 3D shape, finally we used the copy and joint feature to create a replicate of the product.
Mon, Dec 8 HW – Image and description of completed homework
learnt how to make a proper drawing of the upper arm as part of the LED lamp project. I learnt how to use new tools within the sketch function including how to adjust dimensions of shapes, using the ‘D’ key, and to trim and remove unnecessary lines within the sketch.
Week 1
Fri, Dec 5 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Learnt how to use the features of Fusion and to especially extrude/ create sketches that are within the right dimensions – I made a hollow box with the right dimensions and thickness, added a lid that fits onto the box tightly and also added a handle by creating a new rectangle attached to the lid and protruding to make the handle. also tried adding modifications like a hole in the box and an extruding box at the side.
Fri, Dec 5 HW – Image and description of completed homework
Wed, Dec 3 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
made a box in fusion and learnt how to save it to my folder
