Laser Cutting

Image
  WEEK 2(Tutorial) In week 2’s lesson, we were introduced to laser cutting. Laser cutters are machines that use motors controlled by a computer to cut and engrave material using a laser beam. In SP FabLab, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser cutter machines are used.   CO 2 laser cutter machines are simply machines that use carbon dioxide laser technology to cut and engrave materials. A CO 2 laser cutter is able to cut through materials such as wood, acrylic, cardboard, and paper.   Operating a laser cutter does come with some safety hazards. Here are some things you should avoid when operating a laser cutter:   Avoid staring into the beam during cutting Do not use materials that contain chlorine, for example PVC, or foam. Do not cut or engrave metal materials Never leave the machine unattended while cutting or engraving   Other safety measures to note are:   In the event a small fire occurs, attempt to extinguish it by blowing it or removing the material from the laser cutter

WEEK 1 The activity for this week was to create a keyring with our name on it as a refresher to using Fusion360.   1. Create a sketch and select a plane to work on 2. Create a 2-point rectangle to serve as the main body of the keyring (65mm x 25mm) 3. Select the offset option and click on the rectangle 4. Offset the sketch by 2mm          Figure 1: Step 4 (offset)   5. Select fillet and click on the 4 outer corners to round off the corners of the keyring 6. Type 5mm for the radius    Figure 2: Step 5 (fillet)   7. Create a line 8. Right click on the line and select Normal/Construction 9. Select Dimension and click on both lines to define a 7mm distance between them 10. Create a point in the middle of the line 11. Draw a 5mm circle from the point that was created. This circle is where the ring will slot through. Figure 3: Step 11 (Drawing the circle)   12. Create text 13. Type in your name, select font and adjust the height to fit the keyring 14. Centralise your name accordingly Figure

 Welcome to my blog for CP5070 Chemical Product Design & Development. I am Anwar Abdul Manaf from class DCHE/2B/01 from Team KANX. This module is a continuation from CP5065 Introduction to Chemical Product Design. In this module, we are required to have an individual blog each to document our learning and track our progress, as well as identify possible mistakes or errors in our learning that needs to be rectified.   Personal Goals For this module, I would like to improve my CAD skills to be able to design more complex products using the Fusion360 software, as well as I would like to improve on my teamwork and project management skills.   To improve my CAD skills, I plan to look for video tutorials of more complex designs. After successfully following the tutorial video, I will re-attempt the design without the help of the tutorial so as to ensure that I am able to do it without the help of the videos. The more designs I get to practice, the more comfortable I will be wit
