OBJECTIVESGeneral Objective
Design a machine to build sockets on composited materials
Specifics Objectives
• Design a system to hold and rotate the workipiece
• Design a resin distribution system
• Select materials according to the requirements
• Locate all the design pieces optimizing space and
function
• Conceive the possible working scenarios to integrate
the design
REQUIREMENTS• Provides a strong attachment of the positive mold
• Uniform distribution of the resin
• Allows often use
• Clean environment to applied the resin
• Affordable disposition of the fibers
• Easy placement of the positive mold and extraction of the socket
• Design that facilities the maintenance and cleaning
