Safiya’s Status Report for 9/20

This week I created concept sketches for the LivePin Prototype and did a lot of research on all the components that it would take to come up with a comprehensive design. I looked into some actuator options and think the place to start would be a 3d printed rack and pinion. I also started sketching out the carriage design and the gantry system, which brought up a lot of design questions, which is good so we can answer them before moving forward. I included that concept sketch doc here.
My progress is on schedule, as we planned for me to do the concept sketch this week and then finish CAD by next week.
I hope to complete the CAD of the prototype in time for the design presentation and complete the design presentation.This one is not the final, it won’t let me upload because its too big
