Week 3¶
I have used ChatGPT for generating the correct definationsof certain terms and then edited it accordingly. (Credit goes to AI!!)
Vocabulary learnt this week :¶
- Press-fit Joint:
Definition: A type of joint that relies on friction and interference between components to hold them together without the need for adhesives or fasteners. In parametric press-fit kits, joints are often designed with specific tolerances to ensure a secure fit.
- Laser Cutter:
Definition: A machine that uses a laser to cut or engrave materials. In the context of parametric press-fit kits, laser cutters are commonly used to create precise and intricate components with complex geometries.
- Material Thickness:
Definition: The thickness of the material being used in the press-fit kit, such as plywood or acrylic. It is a critical parameter to consider when designing press-fit joints to ensure a proper fit.
- Interlocking Design:
Definition: The creation of parts that fit together in a specific way to form a cohesive structure. In parametric press-fit kits, interlocking designs are often used to enhance stability and strength.
- Parametric Press-fit Kit:
Definition: A kit designed with parametric principles, allowing for the customization of dimensions, joint types, and other features to adapt to specific needs or requirements.
- Material Selection:
Definition: The process of choosing the appropriate material for the press-fit kit, considering factors such as strength, flexibility, and laser-cutting compatibility.
- Kerf:
Definition: The width of the cut made by the laser during the laser cutting process. Understanding and compensating for kerf is essential for accurate parametric design in press-fit kits.
I didn’t learn any new softwares this week so yeah!!
THANK YOU!
