Good Morning Guys,

A bit of bad news i'm afraid. Senior Technician, Phil Green, sadly passed away on Friday morning from long term illness. Please spare a thought for him and his family at this hard time, and cherish any time you spent working alongside Phil as a student or member of staff.

Cheers,

Jordan

Please ensure that you have had your projects signed off by both your academic and John Grimes! If you haven't, you cannot start manufacturing!

F.A.O Year 2 Product Design -

Due to time issues, Painting of models is now becoming a concern. Please note, your model will only be sprayed in FULL COLOUR if the finish is fine to do so. We are having alot of problems with 'Furry MDF' which absorbs the paint like a sponge, deeming the process pointless.

Carl, Myself and Jamie Billing are making final decisions as to whether or not your model will be painted.

We are sorry for any inconvienience or dissapointment.

Just take it as a Time Management learning curve.

Cheers,

Jordan

If anyone is interested in doing casting and composite materials work for your projects this year then check out the website created by Richard Arm.

Richard is the Senior Technician responsible for the mould-making and casting workshop over in Bonington Building. Some of you may have already met him, but if you do have any general questions related to your ideas and concepts then his site is a good starting point for all your casting and mould-making needs...?!

This website was created as a supplementary learning resource designed to help answer the most commonly asked questions about composite materials.
