Manufacturing
Process: The Project_1 Soldering Kit was manufactured in several steps: 1) Ordering the parts—We ordered all of our components through Jameco and Digikey. Our boards were ordered through PCB123, the same company that our designing program was based from. The antistatic foam was donated by Applied Technologies, a local engineering company. The plastic bags were ordered from www.findingking.com . 2) We didn’t receive all of our parts immediately, but once we received most of the parts, we started packing them into the plastic bags. Anna, David, and Natalina packed the resistors, capacitors, IC’s IC sockets, and LED’s at Anna’a house in one day. 3) We first attempted to use a jigsaw to individually cut the boards. However, we encountered some problems along the way. The material of the boards caused the thin blades to wear down easily. The jigsaw blade was also thin, allowing it freedom to move at approx. ˝ inch into an odd angle. So we decided to cut the boards by handsaws. Most of the boards were cut by David, and Natalina sanded them using a belt sander. 4) David drilled holes in the boards to allow the battery pack wires to thread through the holes so the battery pack can be attached to the back of the kit. |
