Machining and Manufacturing

Machining and Manufacturing

Spring 2006

Materials: Lath and mill

Competency: These pictures shows the overall competency of milling and lathing as well as working with various other types of machinery dealing with metal working. Other types of tools including forge, arc welder, Shopbot, grinder, and basic hand tools were also learned to be used but aren’t shown.

Summary: These two pictures are taken from a final case study that its goal was to demonstrate my over all abilities learned through out my studies. However most of the skills learn were from a machining and manufacturing class. In that class we learn how to manufacture various pieces from different types of materials and processes.

Self-Reflection: With a background of living on a ranch and a farm the ideas that were brought forth from the course were this artifact came from, only enhanced various skills that I already knew. It is from this experience that I feel most comfortable in this area.
