CIAS Industrial Design Facilities Tour with Benjamin Hudson
Transcription
Hello. My name is Ben Hudson, and I'm a fourth year Industrial Design student here at RIT You're standing in the middle of our industrial design studio Here juniors and seniors will spend time working on their individual projects although it tends to get fairly messy and that's just kind of a by-product of the way that we work In addition to individual student desks we also have collaborative tables that students can work on in cross-disciplinary projects as well as a project with multiple design students in them The nice thing about our studio is it's it's an open-air studio All the desks are in one area, we've got juniors and seniors all sort of mixed in together and so there's a lot of uh... there's a lot of social interaction We'll pull late nights in the studio, get some tunes going, and you know just have some fun So this is what we call the sanding room If you look up on the wall we've got tons of just random materials It's uh... sort of a general acceptance that we can find pretty much anything in here, depending on what you're looking for -- springs, raw materials for wood We tend to make a lot of mock-ups out of a yellow foam which is this stuff right here It's really easily sculptable We just cover this in plaster and paint it and you can get a really nice photo finish model This is our tool room and it's managed by our shop technician Rick Auburn In here you can find just about any tool imaginable This is the 3D printer that we use in the industrial design program Basically how it works is it's a vat of cornstarch that you uh... you got a printhead that comes over right on top and it prints a specific layer of epoxy resin on top and that hardens and then the vat moves down just a little bit and it covers it with with cornstarch again and the next layer is printed and what that allows us to do is get extremely detailed models from our computer computer models that we made upstairs So this is the industrial design department I hope you enjoyed this tour and we'd love to hear from you Please come in and we'd be happy to give you a real tour
