• Terminology Comprehension Section (TCS) none this week

• Class Design Section
• Click on the following link for the Week 6 WDE
• Print the first page as a single sheet, sign your name 
• Print 6 copies of the the second page, sign your name on each sheet (or you won't get a grade) 
• Go the following link to vote on each image: Revolved Feature Part - Photo Real Image contest

• Various Instructional Video lessons from Week 6 will be applied to your FDP as a portion of your Week 7 WDE including the "Pack and Go" function plus the following:
• The Rib Feature
• Embossed or debossed Sketch "Text"

• The Magnet Hook will be featured again this time in an assembly as a portion of your Week 7 WDE.  You will need to create a new magnet part and a hook using a 3D sketch path in a sweep feature.

 
• Magnet Hook Assembly Model WDE Week 7  - 

• Image contest for the HP Fusion printer part sample:  Instead of having a modeling contest for the HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printed part sample, I believe that a more fair assessment would be to have each of you prepare a photo real image of your best FDP part that you would like to send to HP's Fusion printer.  I will post them in the gallery below and we will vote on the best two parts for the Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer part samples.  To provide an equal playing field, for the image contest, we will all use the "Factory Floor" background scene (as shown above) - but include everything else to enhance the image including appearances, colors and lights.  We also have to act quickly on this since deadlines are apporaching and there are limitations on participation.
• Participation is voluntary
• 800 x 600 pixels, or the image will not get posted
• Submit images to me by Thursday at midnight.
• Rules and limitations for the part can be found at the following website: HP Multi Jet Fusion printer sample.
