Critical Reflection

This Critical Thinking and Communication Module has provided me with valuable insights into both my strengths and areas for improvement. Initially, I discovered weaknesses in my report writing and PowerPoint presentation skills, which I found to be lacking in engagement. However, through active engagement in this module, I have benefited from the guidance of my professors and peers, enabling me to continually enhance my writing and creative abilities.  Module Learning: Through feedback from everyone, I realised that what I thought previously was one of my major strengths which is public speaking and presentation skills was lacking in certain areas like not being able to capture my targeted audience's attention. I always thought that speaking well and not being nervous meant that my presentation was good. But I soon learnt that you have to capture the audience's attention as well and make the presentation as interesting as possible by making the slides less wordy and most import

Contributions to the Research Project

  The ARCAM EBM Spectra H is an advanced electron beam melting (EBM) 3D printer developed by GE Additive, specifically designed for high-temperature materials such as titanium aluminides and Alloy 718 which are known to be crack-prone (OpenAI 2024). The Spectra H is part of the ARCAM EBM series, which is known for its innovative EBM technology which offers freedom in design, excellent material properties and stacking capabilities. The latest EBM printer represents a significant advancement in additive manufacturing compared to its predecessors. With dimensions of 1328 x 2344 x 2858mm (depth, width, height) and a build volume of 250 x 430mm (depth, height), it boasts considerable capabilities. Operating within a typical temperature range of 600 to 1100 degrees Celsius and equipped with a maximum beam power of 6kW, it excels in producing complex, high-strength metal parts with precise tolerances. Industries such as aerospace, medical, and automotive leverage its capabilities to fabricate

  Description 3D Printer (ARCAM EBM SPECTRA H) 1. JiaJun and Royce came from similar backgrounds as both graduated from aerospace engineering courses and had final-year projects that allowed them to use similar machinery.  2. The team decided to focus on 3D printers specifically the (ARCAM EBM SPECTRA H) type printer. 3. Using multiple sources specifically the product brochure and the official website and found out about the product in more detail. 4. Using (chatgpt) gAI, information about the printer like usability, specifications and functions could be found. 5. Using both Google Search and (chatgpt) gAI information to cross-reference and check to ensure that there is no discrepancy between the 2 sources. 6. The team found the product specifications, functions and features using the above-mentioned websites.
