Gumball Machine and Catapult

Post by prchalc » Tue 17 Mar , 2009 19:06 pm

The top of the gumball machine shows how we integrated the use of the Denford router into a traditional production run. The top was engraved with a 2D CAD file.

The catapult has an engraved design on one side and text on the other side of the trapezoid.

Questions or comments welcome ....

Hey Curt,

Great work!

I think you missed a closeup of the Gumball machine.

Hows it going in Montana? Is it still cold?

Am in the states and on my way to ITEA next week. Will send you an e-mail.

Thanks for posting the project!

Great Class photo too! :D

The first machine is just a simple game the ball is fired from the springboard and the intention is to get the ball in the pot.

The other is a mechanism that drops a ball of bubblegum when turn the handle
