What is a stepper motor? A stepper motor uses opposing electromagnets to create rotation. The different number of steps are determined by the number of poles on each the stator and the rotor. There are several different types of stepper motor, depending on the use case and the size that is required. The main types […]
Design Rules for CNC/casting Most important is to know your cutter shape and size. Any features have to be designed in accordance to the diameter of the cutter as this will restrict how far and deep the slots between features can be. Try and keep the cutter as big as possible as it will reduce […]
3d Scanning can be done in multiple ways and at multiple price points, either with handheld scanner for an iPad all the way up to full systems, e.g for car manufactures to scan clay cars. They also have different degrees of accuracy, with hand held scanners being less expensive they will also produce less detailed […]
The task this week was to create the schematic, board layout and then mill the simple LED circuit board. Autodesk Eagle is the circuit-board software that we used > Installing it was relatively easy as it was just a simple installation but to get the correct components for the FAB LAB, downloading the library of […]
Task: Produce a press fit kit (accounting for kerf) using the laser cutter Making the Design The main aim is to use parametric design software to ‘simplify the process’. Being able to edit the sketch automatically by adding parameters and using these to dimension the sketch instead of manually changing them. First step was to […]
I decided to use a mind map for the DP403 projects research analysis and wanted to record the process for future reference. Looking online there are several good mind mapping software but due to the ability to have a free trial I went with iMindMap. The first step is to choose a theme similar to […]
This week task was to create our own web page by either using edublogs or another website software. I chose to go with edublogs as they are supported by the university and therefore would have support available. Choosing a theme was difficult and I went through several to find the correct one, eventually choosing ‘Weather’. […]
