Advance Manufacturing Process Project - The Ferris Wheel

This sem got another project similar to industrial project which is AMP project. My group built a simple Ferris wheel.

Today is the presentation day. Finally it's over. Throughout this semester, actually the project started from very beginning of this sem. But, guess wat? Malaysian "last minute" culture, it's dragged until last weekend to complete all the stuff...report, presentation slide and product...


Many problems exist lo...In this project, we are required to use Laser and wire cut EDM to produce the parts in out product. However, our lovely wire cut EDM machine broke down since the very beginning until now...so we only can use Laser lo...then after assembly, suddenly found that motor we bought cannot turn the wheel!! The motor we have is high speed motor while we actually need a high torque motor. But, the high torque motor too expensive...(this project cannot refund any money, we have to cut cost as much as possible.)

What to do? We have to find a suitable motor then...finally, we found a suitable one.(borrow from fren). The motor is so big size that cannot tight fit into the hole we made on the frame. We have to redesign the product...

In fact, everyone in this group is...M.A.L.E. No girls in my group. Seems like we working in mechanical department. (Mechanical dept is so well known with no girl exists...)hehe...but, the works come out very well though. Dudes can work well together!!




Thanks to KS Wong, as a leader who worked really hard and as conscious as me!!haha!! Thanks to Yu Keong to make a nice slide show.

Thanks to Meor, Abu and Ikhsan for making a so exciting and attractive lanscape, background music and LED stuff. When our product brought to the dept, everyone is..."Wow, ur group really GENG!!"...haha!! All the compliments make us really greatful, at least all the hard works paid!!

Final year liao...really appreciate every opportunities to work together will my awesome coursemates!!
