Week 13 final report and resentation

Thanks giving week, family gathering, and little progress on the bender.
This week we focused on generating the final presentation and the 1st draft of final report.

The report was fairly long and time consuming so extra work will be done after finishing the report.

Week 12 updates

Update to the bender,
What is created:

  • 2 dies for 2 different radii
  • metal arm for bending
  • Bending table
  • support block
  • one measuring block
  • roller/caster
They will be assembled to perform the bending. from the testing, every thing looks successful so far except the die for bending the 1/4 in aluminum bar needs to be refined so we don't have to band the flat stock several times to complete one curve.
