Industry Placement; Day Seven

3rd April 2012

Today I remained busy with things to do pretty much all day - Richard set me the task of creating a perspex light up ornamental thing for a client - just a mock up - so the client can see how it will look and decide whether they want us to create a finished version.

First of all I was given a sheet with dimensions and a rough breif/spec (see folder) and then the led light strips - here they are!

I put the product together so I could see if there were any restrictions to what I am building, taking dims of all the led pices to draw up an accurate drawing.

Well isnt that pretty.

I draw up a rough idea of what was needing to be made - the restrictions being that you cant screw into the perspex as the LEDs would show it - but the perspex needs a solid base to sit in.

It was then sent off to the CNC man who will cut it tomorrow afternoon - I had to include rebate depths and several thicknesses of material.

I made sure the CNC jigs were ready before I left - but I need a couple more hours to work on the technical drawing for someone to work from which I will do tomorrow.
