After I laid out my piece on 3/4 inch MDF, I sprayed one side of the wood with Super 77. I stuck it to another piece and stepped on it to secure it firmly for the time being. I then cut it out on the ban saw and then carefully sanded it down on the belt and circular drum sander. Once I had my shape I got a router bit with an interesting bevel in it and used it on the edges of my piece. I then gave it a final hand sand to make sure everything was smooth and even. Next class I plan on taking the two halves apart and vacuum forming each piece. I will finish by attaching them together and sanding the final piece down.
This is the blog for the Philadelphia University Industrial Design Fabrication class. The class focuses on mock-up and prototyping techniques used in Industrial design. Comments are welcome, we would love to hear what you think.
