Manufacturing Camp Day 3

July 30th, 2008 at 04:01pm Teresa Beach-Shelow

Jersey Day—-all participants were to wear the Jersey of their favorite team over a work shirt—a way to have fun and build camaraderie! Of course, Bears were the most represented team….we started out with a dimensioning lesson. Figuring out the +/- tolerance that they can have on the project they are about to machine. Next there is a video about cutting material.
Machining—WOW! It is fun to see the students each put their metal into the machine, make sure it is even and tight, then start the cutting process. As they file the burr off they are pleased!
Thom Shelow came to speak about joining processes and his journey in manufacturing. Superior Joining Technologies, Inc. provided lunch. Students left their partially finished project ready to come back tomorrow! P.S. Two of the students are inspired to think of altering a golf cart into a tank that will shoot tennis balls…..imagine that!
