Fusion 360 Software: Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D CAD, CAM, software designed by Autodesk. It is an all-in-one product development solution that combines industrial design, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing capabilities in a single package. Activities \ Learning done at company 2. Engineering Drawings: Engineering drawings are a universal language that allows designers to communicate their ideas and designs to others. We used the Fusion 360 software for the drawings of different components, gauges and fixtures. Activities \ Learning done at company 3. Computer Aided Manufacturing: It is a process that uses computer software and hardware to control and automate manufacturing processes. We prepared CAM for some parts on Fusion 360 software and extracted CNC code from it. Activities \ Learning done at company 4. LASER Marking: Laser marking is a permanent process that uses a beam of concentrated light to create a lasting mark on a surface. Used Laser marking machine and EzCAD to imprint the related names on different components. Activities \ Learning done at company 5. Wire EDM: Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a manufacturing process that uses a thin metal wire to cut intricate shapes and profiles in conductive materials such as metals, alloys, and some ceramics. Used the wire EDM for practice purposes and the manufacturing of gauges for certain components. Impact of internship on Project Execution
The internship training proved beneficial as a undergraduate student.
By actually using the theoretical concepts, it has made them easier to understand. The fundamental goal of industrial training was to show undergraduates how engineering might be used in practical situations by helping them recognise, observe, and practise these applications. It was also an opportunity to communicate with coworkers and observe management techniques in addition to gaining knowledge in technical procedures. Conclusion During internship training, I had numerous opportunities to practically experience and visualise metal component machining in VMC, LASER Marking, and Wire EDM. Discovered numerous manufacturing methods, quality inspections, and preventive maintenance. The internship also assisted in expanding industry networks and provided the opportunity to interact with industry professionals. Overall, it was a valuable experience that will allow me to improve my abilities and knowledge. This is our first exposure to the industry, and I am quite appreciative for the opportunity. Thank you
