FOURTH WEEK

FOURTH WEEK

We began the week with Julen, as always. He explained us how to create a design table. Here we can choose the parameters for the piece, this way it will be easier to make changes. We use Excel for this.

With Gaizka we started inserting the bushes in the die. For this we made one sketch to draw it. When we finish drawing it, Andrea assemblys it to the die.

Until now, the die is like this:



With Iranzu we continued doing the market study for our company.

We haven´t got any classes with Nagore, because she has been very busy with DFM1 students.

With Richard, we made a listening to improve our skills, we also started preparing for the exam, that will be a letter.

This week was quite short, because we didn´t have class on friday. On thursday we went to Mercedes Benz company in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
We arrived there at 10 am and it lasted 2 hours more or less. There, we saw lot of things about manufacturing of Mercedes cars.
The company was separated in three parts, the first one was the assembly of the external parts of the cars, like the roof, doors...

Then, they carry them to the painting zone, here they use anti corrosives and paintings.

Finally, they carry the cars to the internal assembly zone. Here they put all the components to finnish the car and send it to the customer.

It was a very good day because we learnt lot of things. We think it is possitive to see how they create a car from zero.

THIRD WEEK

THIRD WEEK:

The third week we started making parameters in the tree of catia with Gaizka. Also, we maked sketches in this tree to make ours plates. these plates are: the sufridera, motherboard, top plate and matrix holder.

Gaizka also kept track of how we are working at group level for the challenge.

Nagore's about subject, we continued learning and practicing with tridimensional machine. During one hour, we practice concepts like the point, the plane, points of origin, edge...
Then, we started making AMFE as a group, in this AMFE what we do is an analysis and possible failures of the sufridera and our design band.

With Julen we continued doing pieces in Catia, exactly the piece of the exam that we made on Monday. He began teaching us how to introduce parameters on Catia. This way, when we want to make a change on the piece, we will not lose the form of it.
On Monday, we maked a exam that it lasted an hour.Here I put the piece we did.

With Richard we maked some reading exercises about manufacturing processes as reading and listening.




And finally, with Iranzu we continue doing a market study. The rest is done, like the slogan, logo...then we will think something that differentiates us frome other companies.

This is our DAFO:
