Working on the modeling lab

Modeling shop

These days I have been immersed in the modeling lab along with Patrizio, the “capo” there. His modeling abilities are awesome, so as his patience, and step by step I’m getting to the end of Prototype 2 & 3.

Both Prototype 2 (Arduino + RFID) & 3 (Mobile phone screen inside a view master) are made with an extra middle “body part” made of synthetic wood. The whole craftsmanship is quite interesting and at the same time hard. I have learned to use all this crazy robotic machines on the lab as well a little bit of materials, super glues and safety “issues”.

I hope that tomorrow the bodies of this prototypes will be done so I can paint them and finally test them. Still a lot of work to do, the pace is slower than expected but the experience is truly beautiful.
