Week 10. Mechanical Design, Machine Design¶
These days it has been an exceptional experience since a machine was built as a group.
Assignments: Mechanical Design¶
Group assignment:
- Design a machine that includes mechanism + actuation + automation + application.
- Build the mechanical parts and operate it manually.
- Document the group project.
Individual assignment:
- Document your individual contribution.

Learning Outcomes¶
- Work and communicate effectively as a team.
- Design, plan and build a machine.
- Analyse and solve technical problems.
- Recognise opportunities for improvements in the design.
Results: Mechanical Design + Machine Design¶
For two weeks, the group mission was to organize, through planning, to answer questions such as WHAT, WHERE, HOW, etc., for the construction of a machine that meets the following conditions that includes mechanism + performance + automation + application. Building mechanical and manually operated parts. For this purpose, the group had meetings first to determine which machine to manufacture and thus begin to shape the final product PachamamaPrint, a machine that produces by printing the maca material native to the central part of our country.
