(Continuing from the previous Challenges)

• This challenge is comprised of 3 tasks:

  1. METALLURGICAL MANUFACTURING

     • Create the investment casting mold around your hammer pattern

       • Use your robot program to efficiently create the mold

     • Melt-out the 3D-Printed pattern from the mold

     • Pour molten aluminum into your mold to create you metal hammer design

  2. TOOL MAKING

     • Design and manufacture tooling to support the subtractive post-processing of your cast hammer design

  3. BENCHWORK

     • Create one or more (as many as necessary) technical drawings for your hammer design assembly/components that indicate critical vs non-critical features, tolerances, etc.

       • You must include at least one (1) GD&T feature to inspect

     • Inspect your hammer according to the technical drawing(s) you've created, and create a First Article Inspection (FAI) report

       • It is OK if your part does not meet the tolerances you've created in your FAI; this is all good learning
