This week was focused on making simulations of the test drop on Solidworks and making a showcase model to show to audience. For the test drop simulations, I used the inbuilt Test Drop Simulation function in Solidworks. Fiddling with the mesh parameters and the simulation time allowed me to determined that a 3 feet fall would not break the model. However, the model assumes that the part is solid, whereas the actual part is actually honeycombed with 10% infill when printed on the 3D printer. I am currently trying to figure out how to get the honeycomb structure as made by the 3D printer back into Solidworks.
On the showcase model, it was decided that the middle piece and side would suffice. I put in insert holes on the those pieces to hold in furniture. The final results can be seen below. We finished a few of the parts this week, but the rest shall be built next week.
