Transcript Integrated CAD-CAM EiSS Project 2011

Welcome to YOUR Integrated
ECT CAD/CAM using PICs
Presentation Evening
Part of Digital D&T
Programme about Embedding
Electronics in CAD/CAM
products.
So why did we
take part in this
project…..?
Supporting the initiative…….
"I think British design is important across the
world. It's one of the things that makes Britain
stand out around the world. I think that's
incredibly important. It's part of our global
identity."
Ed Vaizey, October 2010
“There has to be a sense that
manufacturing offers a good,
attractive, career opportunity
through skill training for school
leavers and for graduates. Partly
this is about capturing the
imagination of what it will be like
in the industries of the future. It
is also about communicating that
average salaries are comparable
to those in the legal or financial
services.”
Vince Cable, January 2011

So why are we here…..?
You are the face
of the future of
our subject –
without your
passion, you
lobbying your SLT,
your governors,
your local press,
your MP ………we
are a dead
subject
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the session, course delegates will :Have designed


a rear bike light for a mountain bike (beginners)
a SOS whistle with some LED features (advanced)
have designed a circuit board using PICs
have an understanding of some of the features of
CAD software
Design a CAD housing for the product
Produced .stl files for 3D printing
Designing
a
PIC
Designed the Printed Circuit Board
based circuit
We used the following algorithm for designing
our project
Designed

PCB
Stuff
Worked hard to
integrate small
switches – all sorts of
problems then
changed design
You may find this link useful it
will provide you with a viewer
to look at .stl files

Bike Light
Ian will talk about the
CAD software
Over to you for
your presentations
SoS Whistle
The SoS Whistle –
Ian, Nicky & Les
On/off switch
Mates with 2
contacts in
body when
lid is
screwed
down
2 wire contacts
in lid
So much to tell you here…….
I think I’ll best
describe the
PCB
Over to you for
your presentations
