Start a
new design and make sure you
change the crazy default name to "3d your name 1" so I can find your first design.
The way we're doing this, everyone can see AND EDIT everyone's design. Please be respectful and don't mess with someone else's design. I've tested this with 3 people logged in at once and it works but I'm not sure how it will work if all of us log in. If it's glitchy, maybe log out and come back later.
Students are to design a car
The car should fit on a flat rectangle surface 75mm by 150mm.
Add every detail you can think of to this car.
A very Unfinished example here
Zach's excellent example here
Due 4/7
Pieta Extra Credit Click here 4/7 -- No points will be given for the Pieta past this date.
3) Gears: Students should watch this video about how Gears are made and answer the following questions:
A. What is added when the drill bores the center hole of the gear?
B. After the blank comes off the mill, what is stamped in the gear?
C. What movement do you see when the Gear Shaper is used to cut the inner gear? Rotational or Vertical?
D. What is the name of the computer controlled machine that cuts the outside teeth?
E. What is the benefit of having angled teeth on a gear?
F. Columbia Gear in Avon manufactures gears. Look through the slide show on this page to see what they can do then research other parts of their site. Would you want to work at a gear manufacturer? Why or why not?
Email
Mr. Kulzer (gkulzer@htwinsted.org) with the answers to questions A-F.
Due, 4/17.
4) Multiples: Students should manufacture multiples of something using materials they have, then write a short paragraph explaining the objects, what they do or what they're used for, and the process used for making them.
Use your imagination and creativity. The objects don't have to be actually usable.
See example here.
Another here.
Zach's example here
Email a photo of your objects and written explanation to
Mr. Kulzer (gkulzer@htwinsted.org) Due, 4/24.
5) Bookends: Students are to make bookends using any materials they have access to. Because we don't all have access to saws and wood, think "outside the box" and be creative to make a set of two bookends. See example here.
Consider the functionality (heavy enough to hold books without sliding) AND the aesthetics or looks (make them look cool).
Email a photo of your bookends holding a few books between them toMr. Kulzer (gkulzer@htwinsted.org)
Due, 4/30.
6) Show Me, Tell Me:
Imagine yourself in class. Mr. Kulzer gives you a project where you can do anything you want. What would you do?
Students should either write a paragraph describing what you wish you could do in Art class OR draw/paint/build/tinkercad something showing me what you would do.
Paste your paragraph into an email, or email a picture of your artwork to
Mr. Kulzer (gkulzer@htwinsted.org)
Due 5/8
7) Manufactured Object:
Use Tinkercad to recreate a manufactured object from real life. The object must be made of at least two types of material (like a rubber handle over-molded onto a plastic tooth brush) and those material differences should be seen in the Tinkercad rendering.

I recommend making something fairly simple like a tooth brush or flash light. Don't get crazy and do something too complicated, like the car Zach made for our Tinker Car project, because you won't have enough time to finish it. --Also, it helps to be able to render an object realistically if you have an actual object to work from.
*(This is the final project for Seniors.)
Email
Mr. Kulzer (gkulzer@htwinsted.org) with a sentence describing your object and telling Mr. Kulzer that your design is finished and ready to be graded.
Due 5/15
8) Final:
One of three things can be done for this project:
Students can make anything they want with materials they have --OR-- Write a paragraph essay reacting to my video below --OR--Submit a short video of yourself responding to my video.
