Details

Dinosty Fossils seeks to innovate the restoration process of ammolite gemstones by developing a cutting-edge laser cutting tool. The primary challenge is to create a system that can precisely remove the concretion encasing these gemstones without causing any damage to the delicate ammolite surface. This project will involve the integration of high-precision laser technology with real-time sensor systems to ensure accuracy and safety. Additionally, intelligent control software will be developed to automate the process, making it more efficient and reliable. The goal is to refine the restoration process, reducing manual labor and increasing the quality of the final product. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge in laser technology, sensor integration, and software development, all within a cohesive system.

Deliverables

The project will result in a prototype of an advanced laser cutting tool specifically designed for ammolite restoration. Deliverables include a detailed design document, a functional prototype demonstrating the integration of laser technology and sensor systems, and a software application for intelligent control. Additionally, a comprehensive report outlining the testing process and results will be provided, ensuring the tool meets the required precision and safety standards.
