Day 4

The day started off with some work in the office, but after lunch , Davy's colleague took me to the School of Art, Design and Media building ( or ADM) for a tour. First off the building looks amazing! It has a very unique shape and structure, curtaining holding up the expectation as a arts building. 

Frankie took me into the building to visit the workshop were they make prototypes of  project items,  however it was locked ( the person in charge went for lunch), so we sat outside and had a chat. 

He enlightened me a lot about university stuff and also life as a student in the university which was really informative and help! He definitely increased my understanding of the university.

After the person in charge returned,  we took a tour in the workshop to find lots and lots of high-tech eeuipments like 3D capture cameras( to download the shape of the items into a computer programme) and 3D printers like these

The workshop had numerous 3D printers in different shapes and sizes and also had different functions in terms of the process of making the product.

 Here are some products made by students and staff! ( you can see a bat sign at the back ^.^)

And not to forget, the  special camera and a special tailoring machine

After the tour, we headed out, He had to stay for work and I visited the ADM library before returning to the office. Overall, Day 4 was a lot of fun and learning as I get to see how objects were made from the famous 3D printers and also had alot more insight on university life!
