Putting the Pieces Together



The groups have now begun the construction of their prototypes. The groups are making the prototypes from electrical conduit. They have been at it for the whole week and day by day are getting closer to finishing. New measurements and shapes are being designed as they go to improve each group models. The groups weld the pieces together using the GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) process. This process is easier because it has a continuous wire feed that is adjustable to specific rate. This can contribute to a good weld and also go much faster.
