Project – 3D Modelling and Design

Inquiry and Analysis

Statement of Inquiry: Digital Design & Printing as a form of communication and output has evolved through time and space to influence audience’s perspective.

Introduction

My name is Joseph and I am a student of technology in an international school in Dubai. As part of my MYP unit in my first term, I am learning about a simple, 2-D and 3-D modelling software called TinkerCad. This software helps you to make 2-D and 3-D object designs. For my project in term 1, I have been told to think about a design I should make in TinkerCad, so as soon as I got home, I thought about it straight away.
So I have decided for my MYP program project to make a drone which you could attach your phone into so you could record amazing views with your phone. I chose this idea because many adventure, travel videos have inspired me by taking some really good shots with a drone. And these drones have very high quality video recording.
I have looked up some of these drones, and they were awfully expensive. Some were the ones with a drone without a camera, then have to buy and attach a gimbal onto the drone to put the camera/phone/go pro or any other type of recording device onto it.
I thought that phones these days have some really good cameras, so why not build a drone which doesn't constist of expensive materials, and attach a phone holder onto it?

Primary Research:

I have held a survey, consisting of 4 questions, related to the product I have designed.

And these are also a graph made based on the 4 questions I asked

Secondary Research:

I have researched on the internet on different drones that other people have created/invented, and I haven't seen any which can hold phones. All of these brilliant drones either have their own high definition camera or it can other types of cameras (e.g. DSLR's and GoPro's)

Another thing I've inquired, are these drones costs a lot. From a wide range of cost (e.g. $300 - $6000) And this is something I don't want to do.

I have used some of these drones as an inspiration.

This drone is called the DJI Phantom 3. This is one of the most advanced drones you can get in the market. This has its own high-def camera, it shoots in 4K.

This is the Parrot Bebop Drone, this is made towards beginners - novice drone flyers. This has its own camera which shoots in high quality (2.7 K)

This is the IRIS+ drone. This drone is towards professional drone flyers. This drone holds a GoPro, because of this, it is very expensive, It doesn't come with the camera,

Design Specification:

My phone-attaching drone, Phrone I would call, would be made out of strong carbon fiber. Including the gimbal, making the drone get a full, unlimited three sixty degree view of the world under. Phrone would include a three axis stabilization gimbal, which would make the video/photo results not shaky. The fully functional remote, will have a phone/tablet holder, which would have an app to see what the other phone on the drone would see. This app is available in IOS, Android and Windows. The drone would have a huge limit of 4 kilo meters away from the remote, giving the user complete control of what they wish to record.

Design Specification Part 2

Aesthetics: Medium sized, simple design, white.
Cost: 500 dhs/125 dollars
Customer: Film-makers (view filming, aerial filming etc)
Environmental considerations: Costs less than other high-quality drones.
Function: Used to film in a high altitude. Mainly directed to film makers. Stored in electronic stores (e.g sharaf dg, virgin etc) Very simple to use, turn on drone, attach your phone onto in, and start recording!
Manufacturing: Made out of a strong, light material. Carbon fiber.
Software: Needs a phone with a camera. Preferably good cameras (e.g iPhone, Samsung etc)
Safety: PG13, anyone under 13 years old needs parental guidance.
Size: Medium

Peer Evaluation:

TinkerCad Complex Designs

This house, is the first complex design I did. This was very fun and interesting to do yet didn't take a long time. Although, at first I was pretty stuck at making the wagon, then after about five minutes of thinking, I figured out that I should just take the same shape put it more up and press hole. After that, I pressed both the shapes, then grouped it together.

This crown, is the second complex design I did. I found this design harder than the house design and it took me longer too. The problem I had was re-sizing and moving the circles and the steels on the sides to be on the right place. In the end it just took me longer than I should've did to make it look perfect. 

Rocket TinkerCad

This rocket is the first design I have made on TinkerCad without any instructions from them and I found it pretty easy. Below are the steps I did to make it.

Step 1: I first drag the a cylinder shape onto the middle of the platform.
Step 2: Then I re-sized it bigger.
Step 3: After I dragged a paraboloid, then I put it on top of the cylinder.
Step 4: Then finally I dragged a wedge shape, re-sized it so it would fit like a fin. Then copied and pasted so there are 4.

This is the final result:

TinkerCad Lesson 2

Lesson 1: Learning the moves
On this lesson we learnt how to move objects. It was a really easy lesson so it didn't take really long to do.
Step 1: Drag the brown construction on to the orange place.
Step 2: Try to be as accurate as possible.

In this lesson i learnt the basics of TinkerCad, I now know how to move objects. And I know that when I do tutorials, I should follow the orange outlines. This was a very good and easy first lesson, which I really enjoyed.

Lesson 2: Making my name
On this lesson I learnt how to move letters onto a platform. Same like lesson 1, it was a very easy lesson to do yet it was very interesting and fun,
Step 1: Drag the letters of your name on to the platform from a pool of letters.
Step 2: Try to be as accurate as possible.
Step 3: Re-size the platform so the letters could fit in it perfectly.
Step 4: Select all shapes and group them together.

In this lesson I learnt many things, like dragging letters onto a platform, re-sizing things so it could look really good and grouping shapes. This was a very fun lesson because it was very fascinating and interesting to see my name.

Lesson 3: Camera Controls

On this lesson, I learnt how to move around with the camera, pan around, zooming in or out and going back with the starting view. This was a very useful lesson because I didn't how to do it before. 

Step 1: Use the up, down, right and left key in the top left corner to look who was behind the red curtains.

Step 2: Hold down the right button on the mouse to look around, and also press the shift key while holding the right button on the mouse to pan around.

Step 3: Use the '+' and '-' to zoom in and out.

Step 4: Lastly, I can press the home button to go back to the original view.

Lesson 4: Creating Holes

On this lesson, I learnt how to drag shapes onto a platform, making a hole onto a shape and grouping items together. Making holes onto a shape was very new to me and it was very fun and interesting.

Step 1: Drag a hexagonal prism onto the orange outline.

Step 2: Then I have to press the hole button on the top right, and it will make a hole shape on the tool.

Step 3: Lastly I have to group the items together.

Lesson 5: Scale, Copy and Paste

In this lesson I learnt how to scale, copy and paste objects. I found this lesson really easy but still very useful.

Step 1: Drag the cylinder shape onto the orange outlines.

Step 2: Repeat step 1 and move it onto the other orange outline.

Step 3: Re-size the shape so it will be 15mm.

Step 4: Copy the center shape, and paste it onto the orange outline.

Step 5: Re-size the cylinder so it will be 10mm.

Exploring TinkerCad

On Thursday's lesson last week, Ms. Veena introduced to us a website called, Tinkercad. https://www.tinkercad.com/ . It is a simple, online website where you can create and print 3D designs and more. It is very easy to use, so it can be used by all ages. On it you can create or design any object you want. In the lesson, Ms. Veena told us to register to the website and find tutorials on how to use TinkerCad. The tutorial we used was a PDF file which told us how to use the website, (http://www.3dvinci.net/PDFs/GettingStartedInTinkercad.pdf) We then signed in to our account and we explored around the website. The PDF file really helped us on how to use TinkerCad, even though we didn't finish our design, it was looking really good and it was very fun. I wish to learn and use this website more in class.

Introduction and Inquiring and Designing

Introduction:

Hello, my name is Joseph, I am a student of Digital Design in EISM, Dubai. I have created this blog to show all my work I have done throughout the year.


Inquiring and Designing

Johannes Gutenberg, was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer and publisher which was born in 1398. He introduced printing to Europe, which made him best known as the father of printing. Due to political reasons, he and his family had to leave Mainz and move to Strasbourg in his early 20s. His invention, the printing press has been widely considered as the most important invention of the present-day age. It was invented around 1439, and it had one of the biggest impacts on human history. Around 1455, the ‘Gutenberg Bible’, was a 42-line book and was Gutenberg’s best-known item printed. It is thought to be the first modern-printed book.

There are many types of printers, one of them are the Dot matrix printer. It is a type of impact printer that produces characters and illustrations by having pins striking against an ink ribbon to print close spaced dots in the appropriate shape. Although these printers are quite expensive, they do not produce a very high-quality final product but can print multi-page forms. Another type of printer is the ink-jet printer, it is one of the many printers still used mainly until today. This printer works by spraying ionized ink at a sheet of paper, these printers are capable of producing high-quality prints. Another type of printer is the laser printer, it’s a type of printer that uses a laser beam to produce an image on a drum, which then alters the electrical charge on the drum wherever it hits. The daisy-wheel printer is a printer used to get the type of quality found on typewriters, and it’s called this because the print mechanism looks like a daisy. The last printer is the thermal printer, it is a type of printer that makes a printed image by selectively heating coated thermos chromic paper.


In conclusion, Johannes Gutenberg has made a huge impact on history, without him we wouldn’t be able to print assignments, drawings and more. History has changed over the past 100 years, from a printer which cannot even move to printers which can make real life things, named the 3D printer.
