A Day at the Mechanical Workshop.

Yesterday the groupmembers Tong jiun, Jin yang and I stayed back to finish up what's left of the prototype construction. Most of the things done yesterday were the cutting of the arcylic as well as the soldering of the wires so that the real IC will be able to fit at the bottom of the Dummy IC. The arcylic will be used as the casing for the Dummy IC as well as to demosntrate the layers of wafer in an IC Dye. Tongjiun & I was in charge of cutting the arcylic while jin yang was in charge of doing the soldering works. there were no exact measurements for the arcylic case as the dimensions of the Dummy IC was not exact as there as a standard deviation of roughly 0.2mm. A hand saw was used to cut the arcylic. To make the case fit the Dummy IC, the arcylic was further sand papered to trim it's width & length a little bit.

Rough measurements of the arcylic sheet:
1 x [26.9x19.7] cm
2 x [26.9x7.2] cm
1 x [8x8] cm
2 x [8x2] cm

The finishing touch of the prototype will be done by tong jiun. jinyang and i will be working on the poster by the end of the week.

That's me working on the arcylic as well.
