Construction of Prototype

After some discussions regarding the anatomy of the integrated circuit has been discussed between jin yang and mushtak, the construction of the prototype of the integrated circuit has already began.

Items were bought from Vision Art &
3x 1kg Plaster of Paris
1x Uhu Glue
1x Paper Clay
1x Black Spray Can
2x Sand Paper

After that the we started the contruction of the main build of the integrated circuit.


Plaster of Paris (POP) with the mould which is actually a shoe box.


The mixture of POP is inserted into the mould.


The mould for the smaller parts of the Integrated Circuit.


After leaving the POP in the mould for a few hours, the mould is torn apart and this is what we get. The surface was rough so an extra layer was applied and it will be sand papered as well to get the texture that is equilavent to a read Integrated Circuit.


The finish product! Sand paper hasn't been used on it yet. The construction of the prototype will resume tomorrow.

Suprisingly today went pretty smoothly as there were not major setbacks in our construction other than chipped edges and the leakage of POP due to the mould not being airtight. The chipped edges was due to the extra POP that leaked through the mould that breaks the edges away as the mould was removed.
