Project Status:
  • Status: Completed
  • Start Date: 2016-05-01
  • End Date: 2016-12-01
Overview:

As the project lead, I led a team in designing and building a particle sifting machine aimed at optimizing the preparation of mold sand. We conducted a customer survey to gather design requirements and utilized a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) chart to refine the specifications. The machine was designed in SolidWorks 2013 and constructed from scratch by our team. Due to its functionality and usefulness, the BUET Foundry Lab expressed interest in adopting the machine for their mold sand preparation processes. The machine is now in regular use at the lab, significantly improving efficiency and precision in their sifting operations.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Project Lead and Designer: Led the design, development, and construction of the particle sifting machine using SolidWorks as part of a course project.
  • Conducted customer surveys with teammates and used the QFD chart to align design needs with market requirements.
  • Performed cost analysis to estimate production costs and select suitable materials.
  • Successfully built and tested the machine, achieving productivity beyond expectations.
  • Demonstrated the machine’s effectiveness, leading to its adoption by BUET Foundry Lab for mold sand preparation.
Tools & Technologies:
  • Tools: SolidWorks, QFD Chart
Current Progress:

The particle sifting machine is now actively used by the BUET Foundry Lab to optimize mold sand preparation for casting. The project has been successfully completed, and the machine continues to enhance productivity and precision in the lab’s sifting processes.

  • Milestones: Designed and built the machine as part of a course project; adopted by BUET Foundry Lab.
  • Achievements: Increased efficiency and precision in mold sand preparation at BUET Foundry Lab.
