Day 10: (Mon Feb 16, Week 6) 3D Printed Mold Design¶
Notes for 2026-02-16.
New Assignments¶
New assignment due Wednesday: Part A: Formulating the idea and questions, first part of Exercise: Research Study (in multiple parts). Please post your description and sketches as slides in Exercise 8 Shared Folder.
Due next Monday: fabricated silicone components for Exercise: 3D Printed Mold Design Workshop. I.e. please get your molds printed and also cast silicone using them. We’ll bond the components with Sil-Poxy and should be able to test them by the end of class.
Administrative¶
