KRM GCE Portfolio

In RPG, we made it to the 3D section of this class. I have learned how to use a 3D printer and I also learned about the different websites you have to use so that your object can be made. For this project, we had to make a design that could out the school. We also had to work with partners. I feel like my design is very helpful because it allows things to stay in place and not everywhere in the class room. This design took a long time to make but it was worth it because it came out looking great. I feel that the 3D printers should be used more in the world because they actually make life easier. All you have to do is upload whatever design you want into a network and BAM, you have a design that can help you or someone else. Adam helped everyone in the class and I feel like we all are thankful for Adam's help in the class. This is the last AP of his class and I feel like Adam's class helped me learn a lot. I never knew that 3D printers existed until I came to GCE and then I lear...

In Rapid Prototyping we were learning about the Carvey machine and how they work. I enjoyed this topic much better than unit 1 because I was more engaged in class and I knew what I was doing. The Carvey machine makes everything look so much better, especially when you are comparing it to something that you made by hand. We haven't gone on any FE's for this unit yet, but we will be going on one on December 15,2017. My experience with the Carvey machine was amazing. I was so surprised at the way my project came out. It was very nice and clean. There were some malfunctions when it came to my design because we were only allowed to use 2 drills. I had to use the smallest drill due to my designs, but I am very happy with the way my project came out. In RPG, we have been working on distance formula, how to find mass, volume, distance, and much more. You will be seeing examples of what we learned in my project. You will also see my project and the outcome of my handmade and Carvey proj...

In Rapid Prototyping, we have been talking about how to use a CNC Machine.  It has been really fun learning how to work with electronics and going to mHub to see the different types of machines.  We learned how CNC Machines work and how to use them.  They aren't that hard, and that was what surprised me the most because I never used one before and I thought that it was going to be difficult. When we went to mHub we walked around and saw the different types of machines they have and what they use to make them work.  I will admit, I was tired of walking around but I do feel that the experience was a good thing to learn.  For our AP, we had to make a slideshow and we had to compare a piece of art to the CNC version of the art piece.   In Conclusion, this project was very interesting and I thought that the CNC Machine was a very cool piece of machinery and I enjoyed working with it.
