We have had our obstacles with this project and really had to utilize our own resources to complete an end result of a 3D model. It is currently (hopefully) being printed after our last hiccup this week. The TA needed the STL file for the model to print and the group sent it to them on Tuesday. Our presentation is tomorrow, so hopefully it will be printed.
To recap the group experimented with 123-D Catch and Mesh Mixer to create a model, but was unsuccessful. We had to shift gears and create a new strategy after finding that the class' resources were not for us. Susan was able to obtain and print the blueprints for the building while Albert was able to use his Creo expertise to create a model quickly. DeDe, Alex, and Susan became proficient in 123-D Catch, although not used. Alex worked on pre-made models with Mesh mixer extensively.
The entire group was able to understand what it was like to be in an engineering group where there is not too much structure. The group had to work together to create their own personal goals to complete the task of a 3-D model. They worked together and learned how unpredictable engineering can be. Multitasking and quickly changing tasks was definitely a skill that all group members picked up. Will update on how the actual model looks and our success with the poster contest.
