Today our professor Dr.Al-Nuaimy came in and checked in on how far we are in this project.
We shared some of the design works we did in the first and second week. In addition, we showcase the operation we are able to run on the machine. We also talked about the difficulties we ran into during our research and exploration of the CAD, CAM software, including installing the compatible drivers for the CNC router and learning to convert files into the correct format.
During Dr.Al-Nuaimy visits to the Lab/office, The director came in and have a chat with us, we used this chance to express our frustration with the machine and explain why it is important to have a stable driver to utilize the CNC machine in the long term. The director then proceeds to tell us he will look into it and give us the support we need which we appreciate.
We were then advised by Dr.Al-Nuaimy to focus on the software side of the project which will be elaborated later on in this blog. In simple terms, It was the programme that will auto-generate a 3D model based on the values(dimensions of the pills) that the user input.
Dr.Al-Nuaimy gave us a lot of useful tips to secure the objective of the project and gave us feedback and directions on lots of things we learnt but weren't certain about.
After having the feedback from Dr.Al-Nuaimy, we were clear to what we should do and what we should do for the next 2 weeks.
