Week 4 Progress

This week we had decided to tackle how to create our knee pads. We had ordered our material, a 2mm orange sheet of flexible D3O. We met with the 3D printing staff to discuss how to print our scales and what materials they would be made of, that being a hard plastic. We found information for certain adhesives. We are currently deciding on the dimensions of our scales. The shape of the entire knee pad was now decided to form an ovular shape, which would essentially be the rectangle, but the scales will be form a curved edge on the outside of the knee, essentially pulling two sides of the rectangle shape out.
