Week 11 - Working the Fields

This week in Auto CAD we have been working the fields in order to remove the old fence posts in the ground. We used shovels and pix axes to remove the dirt around the post. The main challenge here was that the posts are grounded with a two foot cement shaft. This proves difficult to take out, because the cement bonds to the steel poles that we have to get out of the ground.

Week 10 - Pyramid Designs

This week in Auto CAD we have been finalizing the LED pyramid design, one idea floating around is to add custom patterns on each side of the pyramid. Everybody in the shop has been helping to clean up the work area so that when we return from spring break the shop is not a mess. Once the 3-D design is done then we will have to wait for our material to arrives. 

Week 9 - Pyramid

This week we've been working on designing a 3-D model of the pyramid project. The main premise behind this will be to develop the pyramid via the 3-D printer and model the initial item in 3ds Max. The five pyramids in the design are held up by little ledges at the base of the top pyramid.
