Technical drawings of a mini-pool table are given to students. Students are requested to read these technical drawings, and conduct process planning to decide the sequence of operations and corresponding machine tools, cutting tools and cutting parameters. They then fabricate the pool table based on their planned sequence.
In this lab, students first design a pattern based on the given specifications. They then produce a CAD model using Pro/E, and generate NC codes automatically using Pro/NC. The final product are fabricated on the a CNC mill by students.
Students are required to design and fabricate a planar molding product and its corresponding mold. They work on all aspects of tooling processes starting from rectangular aluminum blocks. Manually-operated and computer-controlled mills are used for the mold fabrication. Students also need to write NC codes manually.
Students use Pro/E to create their designs and RP machines to fabricate prototypes. Their designs must have several movable components.
A technical drawing of a specially designed bolt is given to students. Based the drawing, students conduct process planning, decide the sequence of operations, and then fabricate it using an engine lathe. The fabricated bolt must be able to fit the given nut and screw. By conducting this lab, students practice various machining that can be conducted on a lathe such turning, facing, tapering, forming, threading, and knurling.
