Day 11: (Wed Feb 19, Week 6) 3D Printed TPU Parts¶
Notes for 2025-02-19.
Assignments¶
Due Friday morning: please design a test part to be printed from TPU in a class batch. Please submit your STL files to the CSR-S25 3D Print Queue folder. Your documentation will go in Exercise 10 Shared Folder.
Added note: I apologize that ‘documentation’ was not precisely specified for the TPU design assignment, but the expectation was similar to :ref:`laser-cut-mold-exercise` and :ref:`3D-print-mold-exercise` in the form of brief text comments and photo documentation of the final result.
Due Monday: Exercise: Research Study: please read your related technical citations in detail and be prepared to teach the class specific lessons gained which inform your project.
If you did not clearly identify and sketch a concrete proof-of-concept experiment which supports your project, please go back and finish and update your result for Exercise: Research Study in Exercise 9 Shared Folder. If you did articulate a proof-of-concept experiment, please prepare drawings and a parts list for individual discussion.
Agenda¶
Finish review of Exercise: Research Study results (Exercise 9 Shared Folder).
Discussion of part bonding.
Discussion of TPU part design.
Walkthrough of demo TPU part.
Discussion of new assignments.
Time permitting: individual meetings and work time.
