Overview

This week is going to get busy, as we are going to preparing for the fabrication of our machine design. While we are going through your Engineering Feasibility Report, all teams are encouraged to start contacting the suppliers (MISUMI, WeNext, Taobao, or others) regarding the fabrication of your machine design.

  • Tips on making Fabrication request
    • Contact the supplier or search the specific items to purchase and collect all details necessary.
    • Submit your purchase request through the Feishu app and include as much detail as possible.
    • Be aware of the shipping date and make frequent contact to make sure things would arrive on time.
    • Also, be aware of your budget. If more is needed, justify your case when submitting the purchase request and we will help you to decide.
    • If anything in doubt, contact our lab instructors for help and assistance.
    • The Assembly Engineer should work hand-in-hand with the Fabrication Engineer for the Fabrication and Assembly.
  • 2-page Design Notebook submission
    • We will post peer-review feedback as soon as possible, and please also be reminded regarding the 2-page design notebook submission.
