Intro
One of the classes that I am most excited about at the University of Pennsylvania is MEAM 2010 - Machine Design and Manufacturing. The crux of this class is precisely what excites me. We have the opportunity to build a fully custom heat engine and manufacture it.
In the process, I gained additional exposure to the following:
- 3-axis mills (ProtoTRAK)
- Lathes
- Engineering drawings
- MasterCAM
- Conversational programming
- Limits, fits, & tolerances
- Fasteners
- 200+ part Solidworks Assemblies
- GD&T
Spending a full semester on this project and being able to refine every detail was ulimately the most rewarding part. I'm proud to have been nominated by my peers for the Design Award and ecstatic that the engine reached over 1000 RPM. Impossibly, it looks better in real life than in any pictures!
