Week of 2/22

As of right now, I would have to say that our project is somewhere between 60% and 65% done, even though construction is only around 25%. The reason that there is a stark difference between these two values is because the actual construction of our product does not worry us very much. We have been working the past week with the thermo-forming machine, just honing the craft. We now feel much more comfortable with the machine and can expertly create any shape or design. The hardest part of the project that we still have remaining is the welding of the plastic. This has gone untested at this point so unfortunately there is of course room for error.

This week is an important one for our design. We would actually like to finish our product towards the former half of March, and by doing so free up our time to deal with any issues that surface during construction and fine tune the portfolio of our product. Depending on how the welding testing goes, we could easily finish our product within a fourteen day time period, even accounting for a few bumps along the way. This is a fairly optimistic view point at this time, and there will be a lot to prove this week. If things do go as planned however, by Friday we will have an outer shell and the inner aspects of the project, and only the connecting pieces would still be necessary. That would put our timetable for completion in the first week of March which would be ideal. I look forward to this week and continue to hope for the best and will update you further as time goes on. Thank you.
