Week 14: 11/21 - 11/28

This week's progress:

Prototype progress:
There were some complications getting our prototype 3D printed with MEP, but we were able to figure it out and present 2 different concepts during our presentation.

Machine shop progress:
SJSU's central shop has not replied to our inquiry, so we have looked into other machine shops that would manufacture our motor casing. We have a couple of shops on our list with the invoice and time needed to complete the job, but we would like to look into more shops before finalizing.

Material progress:
From previous week, Dr. Furman agreed on Aluminum as our material, we did some research online to get a rough estimation of the price of aluminum stocks. For a budget price below $500, we will be getting Aluminum 2024-T351 and Aluminum 6061-T6511. Both types are good for machining and can withstand high load.
 
However, after speaking with several shops, we will not need to order our own material. Certain machine shops will order the stock of our choice and complete the manufacturing process.
