Initial research pathways

 


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.

Formal Introductory Letter

  Hello Professor Blackstone, I am Royce, currently a Year 1 student in Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering (MDME) from Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Prior to this, I graduated from 5 years of tertiary education from niche engineering courses - Mechanical Engineering course at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) and Aerospace Engineering course at Temasek Polytechnic (TP). Since I was a child, I have been fascinated in the mechanical operations aspect of aeroplanes. During my internship programme while studying in TP, I realised that I particularly enjoyed the design and manufacturing process especially Computer Aided Design (CAD) for short. I enjoy 3D modelling and completing intricate and detailed designs makes me happy which is what fueled my motivation to join this course. One of my strengths would be being a good listener. I have held leadership positions while I studied in both ITE and TP, working with various personalities. These experiences tau...

Summary-Reader Response Draft#3

  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 fabri...
