Recipe
In this project I had to use three machines that I have used this year to create a clock. I decided to use the laser, 3D printer, and the vinyl cutter. First I had to create my project on the computer. I used inventor and illustrator. I created the laser cutter first. I put the outline on first then I put the logo in the center. Then I made the vinyl. I copied the outline of the laser and put numbers and dashes in. I later took the dashes out because they did not have the same measure in between. Next I made the 3D print part. I created a spot to put the mechanism that can stay up on the wall. Then it was time to print. I took my project down to the lab and set it to cut out on the laser. Then I took it over and cut out on the vinyl and stuck the vinyl on the laser. Then it was time to 3D print. After it was done I took Velcro and stuck the mechanism on the 3D printed piece. Then I put the background and hands on the clock and was ready to hang it up. I used a nail to hang it on my wall. Above also shows pictures with descriptions of the process.
Summary
I learned a better understanding of Inventor and Illustrator. I also learned how to use the laser, vinyl cutter, and 3D printer better. This will help me in the future to create different things with different machines.
