In week 7, the team had learnt to use the Fusion 360 software to create virtual models, and learnt the myraid number of functions that it offers. This is also known as Computer-aided drafting and design or CADD. IT is the use of software to draw and design physical components or to layout processes. With CADD, shapes and lines can be drawn easily and quickly, content can be easily copied, edited, saved and shared. CADD software also allows accurate calculation of dimensions and more advanced software can even accurately estimate the kinds and amount of materials used or the length of manufacturing time, which facilitates budget planning. It is hence beneficial for a product design to know how to use a CADD software. From that lesson, we have created our very own keyring, constraints as well as our very own photoframe. Figure 1: Photoframe Figure 2: Keyring Figure 3: Constraints To summarise, CADD has been a very fun lesson and the team is looking forward to learn more te...

  ACTIVITY  2   Chemical Product Life Cycle    Chemical Product : Portable Water Heater     1) Extraction      Since our product is a portable water heater, commonly used materials required are copper and stainless steel.  Copper is obtained by  ore that is removed from the ground in either open pit or underground  mines. Stainless steel is  consisting  of  raw materials of nickel, iron ore, chromium, silicon, molybdenum, and others, are melted together.   2)  Manufacturing & P roduction   “ Manufacturing”  refers to the making of products  in factories by machineries   on  a large  scale . This process change s individual pieces parts, recycled materials even raw materials obtained by extraction,  into newly functional products.  Stainless steel is an alloy made by melting the raw materials that were extracted such as iron ore, chromium, silicon   a...
