 Dear Professor Blackstone,             Through this module, I have effectively improved both my oral and written communication skills and achieved my goal of improving my public speaking confidence.   The lessons and activities were very well planned and executed and it allowed us to learn a lot in a short span of time. With the improvements that I have made and skillset that I have learned, I now feel more comfortable and confident be it in oral or written communication. I appreciated the fact that the written assignments such as the product summary and technical report writing were guided every step along the way by Professor Blackstone and my fellow peers. It has taught me the Dos and Don’ts of writing and made me realised the importance of proper formatting and style. I have come to appreciate how a proper report should be done and the thought process in generating one. Also, on the oral side, with the constant class sharing and oral...

Product Summary and Analysis: Form 3 Industrial 3D Printer   Formlabs has taken the capabilities of 3D printing a step further with the Form 3, the latest release of its stereolithography apparatus (SLA). The Form 3 is able to help businesses and smaller-scale manufacturers  save money by printing real-world products directly from digital files. Today, advances in 3D printing have made the technology even more accessible and affordable while delivering the accuracy and detail needed for commercial production. The usability and printing precision of the Form 3 is what makes it stand out from its competitors. The review “Formlabs Form 3 Review: Best Resin 3D Printer 2020” (All3DP, 4 March 2020) introduces the functionality and features of the Form 3 and why it is the “best” in comparison with other SLAs in the market. The SLA is a specially-designed 3D printing machine that converts liquid plastic into solid objects. It enables a superior level of detail compared with fused fila...

  As advancements in 3D printing progressively shapes the way businesses approach prototyping and production, the technology has become more affordable and accessible. The article “3D Printing in Manufacturing: Visualizing  A New Mode Of Production”(Adam, 2017) mentioned that “3D printers aren’t just making an impact at the consumer level. Instead, they’re slowly changing the way manufacturers think about design, prototyping and even production”. The article also states that “3D printing has grown into a $6.063 billion industry and boasts a footprint in a wide span of industries”. The growth of revenue from 2016 to 2017 was at 17.4 percent worldwide, which shows how much the world is slowly embracing 3D printing. FormLab is one such company to take the capabilities of 3D printing a step further with the recent release of the 3D printer Form 3. Form 3 is a stereo lithography 3D printer that makes use of a light source such as a laser or projector to cure liquid resin into har...

With the increase in usage and dependency on 3D printing. Fields such as prototyping and manufacturing have begun using 3D printing to aid them in their work. Formlab's recent release of Form 3 3D printer is one such product ahead of its competition.  Form 3's technology enables high quality printing with little maintenance and tweaking. Unlike traditional injection-molded prototype which may be very high in cost and taking weeks to product one single mold, the form lab 3 is able to produce the same product in a matter of hours and at a fraction of the cost. Being able to create prototypes without the need for expensive tools is a more cost efficient and safer method of creating products.  Form 3 has wide appeal with its use of a high precision laser that produces unparalleled printing quality, surpassing competitors that use FDM printers. Being one of the most versatile 3D printers on the market, it is ideal for high quality prototyping, casting and production. .  ...

Dear Professor Blackstone,   My name is Ang Jin Yang and I am currently pursuing a degree in Telematics.   Unlike many of my peers, I do not come from an engineering background. I graduated with a Diploma in Infocomm Security Management from Singapore Polytechnic. While the course covered many interesting areas such as secure programming, defending the network and penetration testing, I feel that one of the most important things that I developed was the ability to apply logical and process thinking skills to solve problems.   After polytechnic, I wanted to further my studies in an area where I could apply these skills. I feel that engineering would give me this opportunity. Specifically, I decided on Telematics as it is an exciting field, with the emergence of autonomous vehicles and other smart transport solutions.   However, while I find technology fascinating, I believe that soft skills such as communications are just as important as technical knowledge. No matter...
