The project foci is the design, development and adaptation of existing robotics 2D drawing files to support the creation of new parts for new and improved purposes. The initial exploration of 2D design is aimed to develop understanding and CAD skills to support the physical modelling, and the later stages more focused on the development of an entire fabricated robot towards a changed brief. Once built, robotic solutions will need to be programmed to support their new design and potential new function. Through the project, pupils will be able to develop confidence in model making, sketching, CAD and CAM, industrial processes and methods of manufacture, and apply their D&T knowledge and materials experience to developing unique and complex solutions that widen the scope of the VEX EDR world.
* Lesson 01 – Pupils will learn about Computer Numerical Control and be able to identify how CNC is used in industry
* Lesson 02 – Pupils will Explore CAD and the structure by which CAD packages work, learn about planning CAD to make CAM successful and consistent, and develop knowledge about CIM and the elements that affect modern manufacture.
* Lesson 03- Pupils will apply Autodesk Inventor Sheet metal environment tools to a design task and develop a range of specific product outcomes. Pupils will then plan unique components in sheet metal to enhance an existing VEX Clawbot.
* Lesson 04 – After applying a series of quality checks on a manufacturing file, pupils will carry out post processing on the fabricated parts suitable for assembly into the VEX system.
* Lesson 05 – By the end of this lesson, pupils will have identified a solution, sketched the solution, and produced a CAD file for its fabrication, and produced a part through CNC machining.
* Lesson 06 – The class will be introduced to the lesson challenge and pupils will form teams to manufacture an entire VEX Clawbot from CNC made parts. They will need to identify and solved issues relating to forming and post processing, and develop a clear approach for quality checking CNC made products.
