This week is 3-D printing week! The model of Chestnut Street and surrounding buildings is completed in AutoCAD (figure 2) , so during lab time Elvira and Jordan are going to transfer files from AutoCAD to the 3-D software. The official measurements of the 3-D model deliverable will be posted tomorrow. As for the bridge itself, Gabe and Walter are working together to put the finishing touches, such as rooftop gardens and specific light fixtures, in AutoCAD. Then, either this week out of lab or next week during lab, they will begin 3-D printing the bridge base.
When the models are completed, we plan to add some color, texture, and real shrubbery and plants to make the final product look professional and realistic. We as a team believe that this bridge has the potential to actually be built and we want to see it through completely.
