This week marked a big step forward as we moved from planning into execution. We finalized cost analysis and placed our purchase order with Ray’s Metalworks, along with orders for steam line components. Although we hit a few communication hurdles with manufacturing early on, those issues have now been resolved and production is moving ahead smoothly! They gave us a confirmation document for our physical structure. We also outlined some of our Final Design Report and assigned sections, and completed the first draft of the FEA model for the final cube design. Next week, we’ll begin assembling the irrigation piping system, integrate precise 3D-printed material properties into our simulations, test electronic safety components, and finalize the steamer gasket design. Finally, we are able to get hands-on with our project!
