12th week

Aitor de la Fuente, Daniel Puente, Gaizka Segovia

The last week we started with the presentation of our new challenge, in this challenge we have to design a base of fundition for our die.

For this we have some PDF to read where we have the information. There is the iformation of how is going to be the minimum distance of our bases walls, the treatments that we can use on it, treatment for the hardness our it, because we are going to hit it with 80 tones, the hight of the pores when we paint it, the percentage of carbono that we have to use, minumum 1,76% and maximum 6.67%. The angle of the ramps, minimun angle sould be 30º, because the scrap that we dont need can evacuate better.

For our base we are doing an individual sketch where we  draw in 3D how we think that can be the better way of the bases design. There we try to draw with the minimum material possible and taking into account our die. Because if we make the evacuation ramps in the grong place we can have problems when the die is working.

With Julen we have learn how can we make a oiece in CATIA with angles, where we can make a solid with angle but we dont need to use the operations of cutting for it.

The next week Jon Asenjo is going to come for solve our questions of the base and to explain us how does this bases work in fundutions. Next week we are going to evaluate the sketches or the group and we are going to choose one for our die
