So far I have learned a lot about my project. My project is
to create a plate, fork, and knife. Originally, I was going to make this out of
metal, but as I did more and more researched I figured out the best way to make
them would be out of plastic. It will be much easier and more realistic. There
are a few ways to make the utensils. Some are more complicated then others. I’ve
learned that it’s best for me to stick with the simplest way, because I do not
have a whole lot of resources.
One popular way to make the items is using a mold out of polystyrene
pellets. The pellets are melted down using a machine, and can then be molded
into whatever shape wanted. Another way to make forks is using a 3d printer,
which I will most likely do. Using an app on my iPod, I can create a design and
then hopefully print it. Before this project, I didn’t even know a 3D printer
existed. I am excited to hopefully be able to use one!
