==Group Minutes== Please post these here: ===October, 20, 2010=== * Presented on possible [[Laser Beam Redirection|beam redirection mechanism]]. ===October, 21, 2010=== * Decided that we would indeed be using the [[HAAS VF-0 CNC Machine|Haas VF0]] located in the student machine shop * Talked to Mike Schnaff about the types of tool holders the larger the slant of the holder, the more stable the tool is: categorized into CAT40/CAT50/CAT60 * Decided to use the L-shaped mirror mounting * Considered whether to purchase an additional tool holder and then modify it, or make a pin on the top of the mirror mounting. * Ultimate decision: Pin on the top of the Mirror Mounting, Cheaper than purchasing a new tool holder * Discussed mounting pin diameter. * Final diameter: 0.75” * Drew up initial designs * Delegated responsibilities ===November, 3, 2010=== * Initial SolidWorks design drafted * Only achieved general understanding with the rest of the class, as all specifications are missing. ===November, 17, 2010=== * Design finalized, but technical SoldWorks drawing cannot be completed until the optical package arrives and final specifications can be implemented in the design. * C channel extruded aluminum forms basis of final design. * Waiting on mirror mount and mirror/lens combination specifications
