Lamps

Transition year is a great opportunity to explore design and be creative. This has without doubt been accomplished in the superb form of the lamp in the picture below. Taking raw wood in the inspiring form of a dog and recreating that scene in painted form is inspiring.

Motor Boats

Some of the lovely boats our second year students have been working on.

When it comes to reflecting on students design and effort, you can't fault this creation.

An excellent piece of work

CNC Puzzle

This is a chance for 4th year technology students to present some of their work. Designing and making an interlocking puzzle using 2D shapes was the challenge students have been working on recently. Their end products were designed using CAD software and processed using the CNC router as shown below.

MP3 Speaker

Transition year students have been busy working over the last number of weeks on their speaker projects. They learnt many of the key skills, i.e circuit population, vacuum forming and processing HIP plastic along with finishing of their speaker casing with custom vinyl stickers. They all produced some wonderful projects. Below are some of the key stages involved and a few of the finished speaker projects.

MP3 Speaker

Transition year students have been busy making an MP3 audio speaker for the last couple of weeks. This project is based on the audio amplifier PCB which was sourced from Rapid Electronics. Students helped design the casing for the speaker using the CNC and production began from there. Its a great little project which gives the students a taste of all aspects of technology from vacumn forming acrylic and finishing to populating PCB's. All stages of manufacture are shown below.

Et Voila!!
