Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Decision to keep desiccator as a box instead of being cylindrical
cylindrical design was too complicated and would not fit the needs of the sponsor
Final design of jig inserts completed - onto fabricating them using steel
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Desiccator was able to hold a vacuum for 48 hours with the addition of a door handle and new gasket
3rd threaded hole/screw into each of the jig insert panels
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
CAD/design a jig/holder that can optimize the polishing process
Create desiccator replica + pressure tests
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Clarify project objective with sponsors
Show sponsors that even after replicating desiccator, pressure will still hold
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Risks and Areas of Concern
Not enough time to create a whole new jig for the polishing process
After creating multiple desiccators, they may not hold a vacuum the same way the first prototype did
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Describe upcoming milestone
Update Gantt chart.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Progress on Report and Webpage
Working on updating the final design of the jig inserts and the cutting process
