Re Design of the sensor Faucet

For the VS company we are in A good mix of Creativity studio,  make a step forward with design in the process of "face lift" for the sensor Faucet . On the first step we re-engineering the existing Faucet to parametrically values in Alibre design CAD system. With this we can on time checking all the elements in Faucet and tolerance on elements. When designing, a new input was taken into account all possibilities of new manufacturing technologies, including automation.  The product has got a new look with approach of industrial designer, who was responsible for visual shape/look and he worked closely in the design process. For dimensional and functional verification, we make in the company Chemets, Kranj, prototype of the Faucet with the laser sintering (SLS technology). Based on this model were established silicone molds for casting with polyurethanes resin. Model of the Faucet was made ​​under the process of vacuum casting of materials with similar technical characteristics as the later finished products. Technology and process ensures maximum flexibility of manufacture to the requirements of product in this case, especially for the different configuration of accessories depending on the specific customer product. This covers a very important niche in the field of sensor taps. Using CAD design and manufacture a prototype according to the methods of 3D technologies, we significantly reduce development time product, in particular, its accuracy and flexibility for development and design

Violin passion

Violin as a music instrument and excellent wood hand work piece, not to mention as design part, it is a wish to be touch for any designer. It touch me as well! First time on the university, late 80'! I visit the luthier, tell him my wish to make violin, He say, yes, yes my young friend, go ahead and come back to me, time to time. Well I was visit him twice precisely and forget for violin for 10y. Not completely forget, it stays in my mind somehow!
In mid of 90' I was back made for my good friend the weeding present! Here it is the Hi-Teac violin:



Did I am making good designs only for a weeding presents, I hope not, two of them for sure, the Eric Tye and Nejc violin. In late 90' the second one was made the same shape, technology and design. The second one is in my hands, it was made them for design exhibition only!

After 10 years I am back with violins, this time on my workbench, better to say on comp and CNC and workshop is the new one.
Hybrid violin, still without name but the fist info is here!


From this CAD drawings, not much to see, but from technology and design will be real masterpiece! I will tray to fill up time to time as the steps and results of the work!
For the better visualization some renders of violin!







As it is possible to see the shape remain "classical"! And this is all. The rib is done from 45deg orientated Carbon fiber vacuumed with weenier! The belly was taken on CNC out of full wood, then the carbon fiber layer was under special technology laminated on inside of "plank". The top part get the grafic on, violin will be finished in week or so and in this time I will post some steps of technology! Watch this space! Thanks to www.Alibre.com and Keyshot render software on help to have this violin on realization!
