3D Printing A Chess Set

The name of this course is "Rapid Prototyping." For the second Action Project of my STEAM course this Elective Term, we had to use a design, voted on by our class to create 3D Printed chess pieces. We also had to create a clay and cardboard model of our piece to kind of match the 3D model. This was all extremely fun, and time-consuming, but sometimes time- consuming is a good thing. There was math involved, as we had to calculate the Riemann sum of our 3D Printed piece! All, such cool stuff! The challenge was make every little thing we did precise, and this was a challenge because humans aren't perfect and the design that we had is just a little bit complex. Like I said before, this was a fun project and 3D Printers very well may be the future of humanity!!

The name of this course is "Rapid Prototyping," and don't worry, it's not AS complicated as it sounds. For the first Action Project of my Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) course this Elective Term, we had to use what we have learned the entire course to take advantage of the complex technology available to us (Cameo Cutter) and create a letter that was assigned to us. The other part of the project was to create a handmade version of that same letter. All together, we had to create a total of four letters, one letter on the Cameo and handmade, and another on the Cameo and handmade, and that's four. We did this to observe the very distinct differences between the handmade and machine-made letters. This was NOT easy, but very fun and creative.  It took a great amount of time to make my letters actually look good. On the positive side, I learned a lot about how to use the Cameo Cutter, which was pretty cool.
