1) - Investigating digital manufacturing and Fabrication Laboratory all around the world.
2) - 2) Planning the final project, which will be developed with the skills learned in each week.
Assignments
1) - Planning the final project.
lightsaber
Why I chose lightsaber?
1) - I have been always a Ganda Fan.
2) - I have a model of PG Phoenix Ganda (scale: 1:60). I want make a lightsaber for it.
3) - I realize that in order for me to finish the academy I will have push myself to make something that requires a lot of effort. So, the only solution was to make something that I love so much that won’t be a burden to make.
What are skills and knowledges that I will need to made lightsaber?
1) - Software Design, I’m going to use the Ug Design Software, because of I using this software for almost three years. So, I can design the lightsaber quickly.
2) - CNC laser cutting and 3D print. I will use the 3D print and the numerical control machine tool to make the handle of sword. And, I will use the laser cutting machine to engrave the logo of mine on the handle of sword.
3) - Electronics. I will make a PCB board to control switch of the LED.
4) - Molding and casting.
what feature does it has?
1) - Easy to use product and it can be used for cosplay.
2) - It can be automatically switched on and off by changing sunlight intensity.
3) - The lightsaber/Gun will work by application and manually.
What will I control?
By using light sensors, it will control the switch of the LED. In the development of the fab academy, I hope to improve the prototype to scale to demonstrate the functionality of the project.
