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.
I would have some process photos for the styrene project, but unfortunately A) I screwed it up and B) I sliced my hand and spent a few hours fixing that up. will have those for the next post.
Here is my final styrene model. I made sure that after every piece was attached firmly. After that I measured everything one final time and all of my measurements were correct. I then filled in the only noticeable gap with styrene putty. I made sure everything was cleanly sanded. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
I have finshed my styrene model. Above is a picture of the model as I was building it and it completed. I have found that sanding is a key element when using styrene.
