Carve Your Heart Out

This course is called Rapid Prototyping. We are experimenting with using different machines to make creations. In this unit, we are learning about a CNC machine called the Carvey. The Carvey is a 3D carving machine that allows you to make quality objects out of a variety of materials including wood, metal and plastic. We also learned about calculating density, mass, and volume of objects. Since we are dealing with a machine that carves into material, we had to learn about 3D formulas, graphing with a z axis, and converting measurements.

This Action Project is about creating a sign about a core value at GCE; a sign carved by the Carvey and one handmade sign. My task is to try to make both of them look as precise and accurate as one another. Before carving, I had to calculate each sign’s mass, density, volume, and distance between the two furthest points on my design.
