On receiving feedback for our first presentation, we realized that we needed to wet our dumpling skin before it is loaded onto the machine so that the skin can stick together. Additionally, we need to add springs to our hinge to make it open automatically after opening. Currently, our team is focused on modelling the […]

After watching following the video…..   We realized that the dumpling-making process can be split into 6 steps, as depicted in the block diagram.   Starting with the loading of the dumpling skin, it is then pressed down on the mould. The meat is then dispensed onto the skin in step 3. In step 4, […]

After discussions with the lab manager, Mr Tony Gan, we realised that our idea is too complex for a group of engineering first-timers. We should have known… since those industrial machines costs $1000++. We also guessed they used pneumatic machines for its high speed…    We would require too many motors and control systems to […]

Initially, we wanted to automate the entire dumpling-making process, except for the ingredients preparation (making the skin and mincing the meat). After scouring Google and YouTube for existing dumpling machine designs, (heavily inspired by this video):   We devised a rough plan for a 4-station dumpling maker   Station 1: The skin will be launched […]
