Step 6Step 6

The finished component is evaluated, shown to the student and then sent back to the school.

Step 1Step 1 A student creates design on CAD/CAM Software on a PC (stand alone or networked).

Step 2Step 2

Student and teachers outside the HKIEd participate in a live video conference with staff at the RC, TSTC, or CDTC.

Step 3Step 3

The student’s design is downloaded to the RC where it is discussed and amendments made, where necessary.

Step 4Step 4

The CNC File containing the student’s design is created by the RC, TSTC, or CDTC.

Step 5Step 5

The student’s design is manufactured on a CNC Machine whilst student views via the Remote Video Camera.
