FOLDABLE ELECTRONICS Board of Directors: Dr. Tom Weller VinicioCarias Members: Robert Donatto Federico Diamante BethlehamWorku Elisha Stevenson
LAST WEEK -Develop Short Term Goals -Pitch Ideas for next week -Find Local Companies -Identify Individual Roles -Attend Different Conferences Before Capstone Project (December 2012) -Attend entrepreneur workshops
Member Duties Robert Donatto &Federico Diamante (Electrical Engineer)- Will work on designing and testing RFID Tag sensor BethlehamWorku(Mechanical Engineer)- Building a state of the art user friendly 3D printer Elisha Stevenson(Computer Engineer)- Develop code for 3D printer and microchip program from RFID Tag
SHORT TERM GOALS:SUMMER • Group Goals: • Testing printer & Ink • Gain access to NREC • Weekly updates • Website • Entrepreneurship sessions • Individual Goals: • Design/construct RFID Tag with embedded Bluetooth Chip • Obtain parts and start design/construction of 3D printer • Research user friendly program for 3D printer and develop code
Constraints Printer: Correct cartridge Reverse engineer cartridge Emulate Cartridge Purchase new cartridge Understanding of printer software Reprogram printer software Download of RIP(Raster image processor) $3000
3D Printers: Rapid Prototyping: Machine fully cures each layer Able to print in X,Y, and Z axis Ability to print through CAD design User Friendly Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Machine
