IN5590 - Portfolio

Learning how 3D-printers work from the ground up

In the first assignment, we learned how 3D-printers works on a low level. The students made a helix using g-code only for their first print job. Moreover, a hello-world part were made in SolidWorks, that shows some of the drawbacks of the traditional FDM/FFF-printer.

Soldering and making a case for the electronics

The students could select from four different electronics kits, to make a Decision maker, Electronic dice, Clock or a Metal detector. Moreover, they made a case for the prototype to protect the electronics.

Finite element method

In the third and last assignment before the project, the students got to develop their skills in SolidWorks by getting familiar with Finite element method(FEM), rendering tools and creating technical drawings.

The students got to print the part and we put them into a hydraulic press to see who made the strongest part. The breaking competition was voluntary.

The main project

In the main project, the students will get to use all their aquired skills. They were presented with a variaty of different topics they could choose from, and they even had the possibility to define their own project. The project phase of IN5590 spans over a 1 1/2 months and culumenats into a public demo of their prototypes.
