  WEEK 7 (TUTORIAL)   What is 3D Printing?   3D-Printing is described as Additive Manufacturing. Additive Manufacturing refers to objects built by adding layer-upon-layer of material. The material used can be any type of material, such as plastic, metal or even water-soluble materials such as Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA).   Once a CAD sketch is done, the 3D-Printer reads in data from the G-Code file, made using a slicer software and lays down or adds successive layers of liquid, powder, sheet material or other, in a layer-upon-layer fashion to fabricate a 3D object.   A slicer is a software that slices our CAD drawing into different layers, and these layers will be made so thin that it can be read/ represented as X, Y, Z coordinates information. This will give an output, G-Code file.   Types of 3D Printing technology   1. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)   Also known as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), it is the most widely...

  WEEK 4 (Tutorial)   In week 4 tutorial session, we were introduced to Arduino Programming.   Introduction to Arduino   Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software, used for building electronics projects. It consists of a physical programmable circuit board and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). One can use the IDE to write a set of instructions or commands to be uploaded into the circuit board, also known as input, and the circuit board will be able to execute the command also known as output.   Maker Uno Edu Kit Figure 1: Components of Maker Uno Board and their functions Figure 2: USB Cable The cable is used to connect the Maker Uno board to a computer with Arduino programming installed. This is so that the codes created in the computer can then be uploaded into the Maker Uno board. Once the code has been uploaded, the USB cable can be plugged in to any power source f...
