3D Printing Learning and Experience during Polytechnic
1 like235 views
The document summarizes the author's experiences with 3D printing and modeling during their polytechnic studies from 1996-1998. They completed an industrial attachment at Singapore Polytechnic where they used 3D modeling software to design models and convert them to STL files for 3D printing. They also assisted converting final year student projects to 3D models. For their second attachment at Singapore Technologies, they designed a watch using metal injection molding technology. They created 3D CAD models and drawings of the watch design and produced prototypes using 3D printing to simulate the metal injection molding process.
3D Printing Learning and Experience during Polytechnic
- 1. 3D Printing Learning and Experience during Polytechnic (Yr 1996~1998) Industrial Attachment : 1) Singapore Polytechnic, MM Dept. 3D Modelling with Rapid Prototyping (FDM) (Nov ~ Dec 1996) - Used 3D Euclid system to design 3D surface and solid cad model. - Converted 3D cad model to STL for rapid prototyping (FDM) and post-processing. - Assisted Polytechnic to convert some final-year projects into 3D models. Example of my 3D Modelling done by FDM- Rapid Prototype Machine in Yr 1996... Still able to find it in below website : https://www.linkedin.com/slink?code=b4hpTwr

- 3. Industrial Attachment : 2) Singapore Technologies, Advanced Materials Technologies Pte. Ltd. Commex & Projex 98 (May ~ Jul 1997) - Designed and manufacturing a Watch product design for Powder Metallurgy - MIM (Metal Injection Moulding) Technology. - Acquired the ability to analyze, perform research and development of ideas. - Acquired the knowledge to fabricate and assembly of prototypes. (Example of my Watch Design in Presentation Folio will be shown at next page onwards)
