Assessment 1 The Blister

The Blister

Key process:
1.Collect the twin mould, aluminium material, 4 group of  screw
2.Produce a custom awl tool
3.Fix the aluminium plate with mould also like burger and make some curve and form a blister
4.Repeat smash and track whether the belly of the blister is satiation
5.Cut it out and remove all redundant part, and polish it.

At this project, the feature is supposed to be let us understand that we need to adjust and create tools to match the goal we need. There is about 30 different types of mould, the main difference is the top of the blister, most of them can not allow for typical mallet or hammer to go through it. Thus, it is required us to make intermediary and make it shape change. And the awl size is base on different condition, which is determined by the mould collected from the tutors.

During the cut on the aluminium plate, i got some ideas. Most people is make the size which nearly perfectly match the mould, and attached them like burger and drill the hole pass through the plate. It is offer more stable during knocking work but increase the stress at the calibration stage. Each time you want to see the outline of the blister, you need to pull out all 4 screws out, which is not much convenient. My way is remove two part which is needed to plug screws for  originally. Base on apply the fixator, it is less stable than the drilled one but is still enough to go ahead. Then, it is convenient for maker to check whether there is any mistake frequently.
