Students pouring the silicon and catalyst mixture
into their
VC mould boxes. Good work Mr Stick !!
|
As part of their Rapid Manufacturing Applications module,
the Estia students have been based over at the Telford Campus all day creating
silicon mould tools and utilising Vacuum Casting equipment as part of their
practical tasks. With this stage now complete (only just!!), the mould tools
will be split and used next week to create polyurethane parts ready for
inspection thereafter.
During the parallel lectures the students got to grips with
Delcam’s PowerMILL Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software in readiness for
their Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining tasks.
