This week we had an important presentation. We present the design of our dies in front of the student of 2 CMM ( the student who are going to do the dies), the student of 1DFM , and some representatives of different companies in the area . This representatives know a lot about dies ,so they take part in the presentation pointing mistakes and making suggestions, making the experience very educational.

Apart of that, in the project of the pneumatic motor , we chose the groups´s sketch. After that we started and finished the 3D design of the motor in one week.

We also have a CATIA exam, and a visit to Matrici. A company that makes dies, seeing in the visit all the process of the design ,fabrication, assembly and verification of dies. The same that we have to do, to simulate, with the project of our die.

The most important thing that we made this week was the presentation to the students of 2CMM and 1DFM, apart of people from different business who had participated into the presentation contributing their point of view. These business-mans told us the mistake tha we have done in our desingns.

We have done a Catia exam this week too and we continued with the neumatic motor design. We also have gone to Matrici business, wich makes diferent dies of the side of the cars

This week we have two important things to do in class. First, finish and presentate the job we have done until now. We have to make the presentation about the die in front other courses of manufacturing processes and fabrication (1, 2 CMM and 1DFM) and the people of important companies around Durango (Gestamp, Gallastegui, Pierburg, Egaña), so we have to do it the best we can. 

Also, we have to visit the company Matrici, which is in Zamudio. In this company the dies for important car brands are made. First, the engineering of the die, then, the design and the respective tests. Then, the die is fabricated in the workshop of the company and finally, the comlete die is checked. 

We have to do an exam of Catia and work in the design of the pneumatical motor to comply the terms of the callenge.

This week we have a lot of different works to do. In first place we need to prepare different presentations.  We make two power point, one for the presentation of the design of the die and another one for EIE, in which we explain the steps that we take to make our fictitious company and the product we are going to make and sell in it.  Apart of prepare this power points we made the presentation of EIE this week.

We also do a speaking exam on the English subject ,making some role play in pair for this.

Apart of that we started with the new project, the one with others schools. First we need to meet our teammates of Salesianos. We started chatting the last week, but we hadn´t meet each other in “person”, so we made some video conference to see each other and made the planning of the week.

We analysed the project and done the first sketch of the design of the pneumatic motor. Each member of the group did theirs and then we putt all in common to choose the group´s  sketch.

To begin this week we started reading the starting data of the new design proyect. To make the proyect we have contacted by video call with Salesianos to know how can we start working and following wich guide.

This first week we have made the sketches of our self view of the design putting all in Drive and choosing the best one to continue with.

This week we have done the EIE presentation in front of the class too. In this presentation we introduce our product dividing the presentation in diferent parts.

ANTON EGUIA

This week we have a lot of work to do. First, we have to prepare two presentations for different subjects, about the design of the die and the presentation of the product we made in our company of EIE. In the presentation of the die we have to show the different elements we designed for our own die. Ini add, we have to explain the hypothetical cost of the elements and the action of make a piece into the die. For EIE, like I said before, we have to show our product. We designed the last weeks a graphic tablet for people, companies and universities. So it will be interesting to do, also compare our financial planning with the rest of the teams of the class. 

In the challenge from distance with other school (Salesianos Deusto) we are not working too much, because we have a lot of things to do here. But we have made conferences with the laptop. We have designed the first sketches of the pneumatical motor.

We have begun to make the sketches for the pneumatic engine.
We have also prepared quite important presentations for this week.
This new project we are going to do with people from other schools and my work partner is going to be Aitor Artetxe, an old partner.

This week was a critical Week. We need to finish the design of the die and submit it by the end of the week. We were late with the design so in order to finish it in time we had to spent a lot of time working outside of class hours ,coming to the class at afternoons because we haven got CATIA at home.

Finally , be the end the week , we finished the design, within the delivery date. Putting and end t weeks and weeks of design work.  But we have not finished the project yet, only the design part. We still have a long way to go before finishing the die.

Apart of that we made a little exam  , to demonstrate what we have learned about dies in this project.

Leaving that aside, to take a short break from the dies, we are going to do a new project. A short one. This is going to take two of three weeks only and is going to be done with members of others school.  This week we have the presentation of this project ,learning what we need to do in it ( a pneumatic motor) , and what will be the working groups. Also which school is going to work which.  They need groups of four or five persons , two of three for each school. We are going to work with Salesianos de Deusto, a school of Bilbao.

Eleventh step

This week the die has to be finnished to start a new proyect. After several weeks designing a die we completed it this week but it was not finnished all the work yet.

The new proyect was about making a design of a pneumatic engine. This new poryect has to be done with students of annother center in Bilbao.

Apart of this we started preparing the presentation of the die to make it in front of people of different businnes.

ANTON EGUIA

Like the last week we have to work fast, because there is not too much time for make all the things we have to do, so we have to work harder than ever. The design of the die has to be finished inmediately, because in other case we will not arrive to the date of the delivery and to the day of the oral presentation fore the people of the different companies of our sector. 

Like the last week we have to distribute so good the work, so it’s important to stay in alert in all the moments of the week.

In add, we have to pass an exam about the industry and specifically about dies.

To finish, we have to make the second project of the course. This project is going to be a project between schools, that schools like ours have to design a pneumatical motor and then it is going to manufacture in other schools. So it is going to be really important the relationships between us to make a nice work.

 The school that is going to work with us is Salesianos of Deusto.


Diego Mateo 

A very difficult week in which we had to finish the project of the die to start a new project, in which it has been talked about that we are going to work with people from Bilbao.

It will be a bit strange to work with unknown people but it will be a nice experience.
