Custom bits 3D printed
CNC machine delivered
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Determine if the gears for the gear train system must be custom made or off the shelf gears can be used (Jacen)
Calibrate the CNC machine to lower to the specific tolerance specified by Callaway (Rohan, Marshall)
CAD ball holder mount (Aaron)
Determine a location to 3D print custom end bits with metal

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Determine how to minimize the loss of energy between gears in the gear train (in person: 4/16/19)
Determine whether custom gears or off-the-shelf gears are necessary for the gear train (in-person 4/16/19)
Determine the glass-transition temperature of the polyurethane used for the golf ball cover in case freezing the flash will be considered (in person (4/16/19)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Improve quality of presentation by rehearsing more and clearly explaining the design solution (google form: 4/16/19)
Risks and Areas of Concern
Will the gear train system be efficient and be adequate for the needs of the system?
Will the necessary gears be able to be custom made or bought off the shelf?
Will the CNC be easily calibrated and adjusted?
Will the ball holder system ensure a secure hold of the ball in the correct position?
Will the custom bits be able to made
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Need a metal 3D printer with high precision and accuracy.
