Project/Research Ideas for Future Work
- Students can research on the field of precision engineering, and examine how various products they use are made from the start (e.g. handphones)
- Students can research on the different types of machining centers, and produce a report examining the various types of machining centers and their uses
- Students can research on what are the smallest degrees of precision used in manufacturing: why are such degrees of precision needed? What could happen if such degrees are not met?
- As a extension, students can research on the using of axes in machine production: why does Makino only produce 3 axis products? What are 5-6 axis products and why and how are they produced?
- Students can examine in detail how cooling systems can work in such machines and how thermal expansion/contraction can affect the quality of the final product produced.
