ASSIGNMENT

 

GENERAL OBJETIVE:

17

 

Applications and Implications

 

  •    Propose a final project that integrates the range of units covered:

      what will it do?

      who's done what beforehand?

      what materials and components will be required?

      where will they come from?

      how much will it cost?

      what parts and systems will be made?

      what processes will be used?

      what tasks need to be completed?

      what questions need to be answered?

      what is the schedule?

      how will it be evaluated?

  •    Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of all of the skills
  •    Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project

 

 

For this assignment should be mentioned that changes to the original idea of an artificial system for beehives were made, this because the time to determine whether any implementation would affect bees and avoid damaging your space is very long, about one year.

 

       What are you going to do?

A thermo-forming than by one or more molds can work on the same workspace generating various geometries from a single mold or failing several molds made several thermo-formed on a single plate material in a maximum area of 0.5 m x 0.5 m is a standard measure of the material sold in Mexico.

 

       who has done it before?

After performing a search, apparently there is no idea of similar technology to which you want to develop.

 

       what materials and components are required?

With regard to materials, the main ones are:

• 3 and 9 mm MDF

• ABS plastic and / or PLA

• Styrene

• Aluminum

 

      Where will they come?

They will be purchased in Mexico, to streamline the production process and most are produced right here in the country.

 

       how much will it cost?

An approximate cost is $ 100.00 this because the power components are the most expensive and actuators or elements that will be used to generate heat.

 

      what parts and systems will be done?

With respect to the pieces to be performed they are:

• The container or base

• The base for molds

• Electronics

 

      what processes are used?

• Cut CNC Router

• Laser cut

• molding and thermoforming

• Compositions

• 3D Printing

 

       what tasks are to be completed?

• 3D scanning and printing (February 24)

• electronics design (Mar 2)

• machine design (April 6)

• input devices (April 13)

• output devices (April 27)

 

       what questions need to be answered?

Can you work one or several molds at the same time?

What kind of control is used for the temperature?

How many previous processes will have to be done to achieve the thermo-formed?

 

       what is the schedule?

In planning process

 

       How it will be evaluated?

How to assess will be checking two main features:

1. What with the same mold can generate various geometries in the material or workspace.

2. What can be combined several molds in the same workspace or material.

    Projects can be separately or together, but it is necessary to show the individual mastery

       skills covered

• Electronics

• programming

• Parameter

• molding and thermoforming

• Compositions

• Court and Assembly

    whenever possible, should be done instead of buying parts of your project
