Building modelled #DaVinci bridges.
No fixtures or fittings just physics, friction, accurate assembly & a splash of good luck 🤞

@Paul_Mc_Guirk @DTassoc They are great for cutting both. the blade is the defining factor. we can cut up to 12mm think MDF, or 6mm acrylic accurately but with caution.

#ArborDT Y10s Getting to grips with the different wood finishes & their methods of application🖌️. Full #Inquiry led - what is the best method to apply a finish? Are some finishes easier to apply? why? Does the material impact the quality of the finish? Preference or Practicality?

Sound Word 🔊in the workshop this term from @ArborYear8 in #DandT this term - designing Passive Amplifiers📣, developing our CAD skills & modelling processes, focusing on scale, accuracy & competency in the workshop @ArborDubai @ArborSeniors

[Design & Technology | The Arbor School @ArborDT]

Awesome Work from our @ArborYear9 in #DandT this term - designing Pewter Key fobs, working through our iterative design processes, modeling strategies, while understanding & appreciating the influence of biomimicry. @ArborDubai @ArborSeniors
