First Class

On this very first class, we present each other and form teams in order to start working on the final project. The professors explained it to us. We are going to "pimp our rides", in teams we are going to buy a toy car and modify it in order to win a race at the end of the semester.

I think I will enjoy the project but I was expecting to do the mask, the sprayer and the iron exercises. Nevertheless I recoon we are going to learn a lot more doing this car thing.

I am very excited about this class because the syllabus seems to be very interesting and I think it is very important for us as industrial design students to comprehend the high technology that we have in our hands, because we have to present our projects the best we can everytime. Also this can help us to be as competitive as other designers all over the world.

In the last part of the class we were assigned to search on the web about one of the ways to do rapid prototyping. My team choosed SLA (Stereolithography). I found this technique very interesting and it is important to understand it very carefully because it is part of what we are going to do with the Z-Corp. The next class we are going to see all the other technologies so I am expecting a very interesting class. I will let you know next week.
