Fall 2014

The Fall 2014 team  worked on repairing the current small scale plant model and began using AutoCAD to 3D print a small scale model of AguaClara plants.  The purpose of using AutoCAD to print models of AguaClara plants, rather than using Rhinoceros 5, is to automate as much of the printing process as possible.  The team evaluated multiple methods of converting a solid in AutoCAD to a meshed solid.  In addition, the team looked into alternative printers that would be more compatible to printing using AutoCAD.  

Spring 2015

The Spring 2015 team plans plans on optimizing the design process of 3D printing by abandoning Rhinoceros 5, the design tool, and only using AutoCAD and MathCADMathcad.  Not only is AguaClara already familiar with both AutoCAD and MathCAD, but manually formatting the Rhinoceros 5 drawing file proved to be tedious and time consuming.  This transition will involve updating the MathCAD to AutoCAD (MtA) code to include the extra formatting that is necessary for 3D printing.  In addition to the change in the design process, the small scale plant model will be scaled down to a travel size.  By the end of the semester we will create a small scale plant model that is technical, yet easy to understand.
