Circle the word that makes the following answers correct to reduce their part cost: 1. use OTS/ custom parts 2. use larger/smaller feature tolerances 3. use coarser/finer surface finish specifications 4. use fewer/more finished surfaces 5. use fewer/more dimension datums 6. use stronger/weaker material 7. use tapped/thru-bolted holes 8. use blind/thru holes when reasonable/possible 9. use cone-bottomed/flat-bottomed holes 10. use arbitrary/nominal part dimensions 11. design parts to be larger/smaller 12. design parts max/min raw-stock removal 13. design parts to use larger/smaller 14. design parts fewer/more fillets 15. design around custom/standard cutter sizes 16. avoid/use mirror image (versus identical) parts 17. make acceptable/great detailed part drawings

Common types of milling machines include:
pouring molten metal into a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify to produce a part that is near net (i.e. final) shape
Define the casting process:
using an electric arc to heat separate pieces of similar material to be joined to a temp high enough to cause melting and coalescing
Define the electric arc welding process:
deforming heated solid metal using hammers or dies to increase material strength while maintaining good ductility and toughness
Define the forging process and explain its principal benefit:
A. review their weekly schedule and plan their individual work assignments B. review part drawings in office hours with a TA to be prepared to make the parts in lab C. complete paperwork outside their formal lab block D. print working copies of non-OTS part drawings for reference during lab E. use 80/20 wisely by selecting pre-cut pieces before cutting longer pieces to length; and only cutting the shortest over-size pieces to the necessary lengths F. bring 1:1 scale printed and trimmed sheetmetal templates to lab to expedite part fabrication G. prepare for the Tapped hole quiz so their group can use the CNC milling machine to drill and tap the holes in the face of their other wheel hub H. have a backup place in case a machine their group needs is being used by another team I. always wait for their TA to answer questions
