CAD Part 1

Overview

In today's CP5070 lesson, we were given a refresher course about Fusion360. So what is Fusion360? It is basically the one and only tool that connects the entire product development process into a single CAD/CAM/CAE cloud-based platform. It is able to work well on both Mac and Windows. What we had to do for today's lesson is re-creating a keychain using Fusion360 with our name on it. In my opinion, I find such programme fun and exciting to use and we can get to explore and create our very own products. After we are done with the products, we are able to send it to a 3D Printer to get it printed out using an assortment of different materials. To my mind, learning to use such programme and 3D Printing is a very crucial skill as I believe this field of technology would continue grow and play a very important parts of our daily lives. An example is in the future, I believe it is possible to even print out functioning human organs and this would greatly benefit those who truly need it. Below are the steps I took to create my very own keychain with my very own name on it.

Fusion360

Step 1: Sketching of the keychain with the necessary dimensions of 65mm x 25mm


Step 2: As seen from the picture, Offset and Fillet techniques were used. Fillet allowed us to have curvy edges and Offset allowed us to copy the selected sketch geometry a specified distance away from the original geometry. .


Step 3: The next step I did was insert a line on the sketch and set it to "Normal/Construction". Next, I set a distance of 7 mm between the left wall of the sketch and the line I created. This is followed by inserting a point on the middle of the line, followed by a circle with radius 5 mm.


Step 4: Step 4 was about inserting a text box onto the sketch and adding my name onto it.


Step 5: For this outcome, I hit "Finished Sketch" followed by extruding the sketch by 3 mm while excluding the hole.


Step 6: This was the final product that I got after extruding the body and my name by 1.5 mm and offsetting it by 3mm


Here is my embed fusion file to my product !

Arduino Programming Task Overview For this week, week 5's practical, I learned about what an Arduino is and what is Arduino programming. I also learned about the different parts of an Arduino board as well as different components that can be used with an Arduino board. This includes LEDs etc. We were tasked with 4 activities. They include:  a. Interface a Potentiometer Analog Input to maker UNO board and measure its signal in serial monitor Arduino IDE  b. Interface a LDR to maker UNO board and measure its signal in serial monitor Arduino IDE  c.  Interface 3 LEDs ( Red , Yellow , Green ) to maker UNO board and program it to perform something (fade or flash etc)  d.  Interface the DC motor to maker UNO board and program it to on and off using push button on the board Potentiometer Analog Input This is how it looks like on Tinkercad ! After the assembly of the setup, I proceeded with copying and pasting the code that was provided by Tinkercad. However, there...

Overview  Hello, welcome back to my blog ! For this week's blog entry, it is about Design Of Experiments (DOE). So what is DOE? DOE is essentially a statistics based approach to designing experiments. Documentation of case study  For Case Study 1, I was appointed as the CEO by my group and I was tasked to complete this case study together with my friend, Nikkisha who is the CFO. Part 1:   Determining effect on single factors and their ranking Recreating the table shown in the PDF, into an Excel file. It looks something like this Where, A = Diameter of bowl   B = Microwaving time C = Power However, for ease of convenience. I have replaced the + and - signs to their respective high and low values. Next, I used this template and filled in the Bullets into the "Average" Column. It is shown as follows This is the data that I got for filling the values in the above table With the data that I arrived at, I tabulated the graph and it looks something like this The ranking mos...
