7/30/22 Replacing Acrylic Interface Plates with Aluminum Interface Plates

Colin Szeto

It was only a matter of time when the acrylic interface plates were dropped on the floor and snapped

The team pivoted to utilize the aluminum 6061 plates we had on hand. 

The hole pattern was printed on 1:1 scale onto an 8.5” by 11” piece of paper. The design was then cut out and attached to the plate. This allowed the team to center punch accurately and maintain tolerances with only a drill press
