CHS Milling Machine
During my senior year at Coventry High School I had the opportunity to put together, program, and learn how to setup the new milling machine in the tech department. I worked together with another student to setup the machine when it arrived, and then to learn and work with the various software and hardware aspects in order to get the machine working to it's full potential. During the entire process, I had to speak with several representatives of Soldworks and Mastercam in order to get the entire machine working correctly.
This project applies to the following Patriot Pride Expectations.
• Teamwork and Leadership - I worked with another student in order to get the Mill running, and we used teamwork in order to work with both hardware and software effectively.
• Effective Communication - In setting up the Mill, I spoke with several service rep's from MasterCam and SolidWorks as well as the teachers who would be using the Mill in order to make sure the Mill was used to it's full potential.
• Personal Choices and Goal Setting - When I decided to do this project, it was on my own accord. I was never assigned this project, and was able to do it in my free time during study halls. This also gave me lot's of experience in manufactering and the processes that go along with it, which could help me in the future with my career.
