Damn, it's been a week already and I still haven't updated my blog posts yet. I must be too pre-occupied playing around with Vuforia Studio (VS) that I lost track of time. Oh well, better late than never I suppose. Where do I even begin? So much has happened in the past week that I couldn't even begin to remember the details of the tasks I had accomplished for each of the days.
If I remembered correctly, the week started off at a snail's pace as my team and I began our background research regarding the uses of CNC machining and the steps required to operate it accurately. When I first dived into the research, I was completely lost. Me, being an electrical engineer student and all, I had no clue about mechanical terminology but after much struggle, I finally managed to grasp the important concepts of CNC Machining.
If you are also starting out with CNC machining and have zero clues on where to start, do check out my member, Shaza's blog post, as she has put together a simple but detailed guide on the basics of CNC machine operations.
Other than doing research, I also spent most of my time messing around with the free trial of VS. During that time, I discovered another software called Creo Illustrate. Essentially, Creo Illustrate is created by the same company that made Vuforia Studio and it is meant to work hand-in-hand with Vuforia Studio. If you are curious to know more about Creo Illustrate and what it does, do check out Sok Hng's blog post for this week.
Fast forward to Thursday, my team and I went for the workshop on the operation of CNC machines. To be honest, I am glad that our supervisor, Mr. David advised us to read up on CNC machining beforehand. Without the prior knowledge from the research, I would have been totally clueless during the workshop and the time spent there would have been wasted.
Tip: If you are starting out with a project that you have zero backgrounds on, ALWAYS do your research first.
After the workshop, we started planning out the various tasks and the deadlines for each of the tasks, so that we wouldn't take too long to complete minor task.
That's all for this week's blog post.
