redesigning assemblies
Accomplishments from Previous Week
contacted Bob for more information on the RF coil assembly
started designing RF assembly
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
machine off extra part of the base - Raphael
finalize redesigned parts - all members
order rack, pinion, and rod for RF assembly from McMaster - Chris
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
bottom RF coil can be fixed at isocenter of bore
pinion shaft can extend to the back of the MRI machine
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
specify fit tolerances on CAD drawings before sending to manufacturer
Lasercamm some parts that can
look for plastic gears from vendors
do DFM review for each part that will be sent out and see if some components can be purchased
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
can print with different materials on the Stratasys machine
machine own parts if possible
purchase already design parts from vendors
find local vendors for 3D printing
Risks and Areas of Concern
pinion shaft has to extend over 30” from base to back of MRI machine
Schedule
redesign assemblies
meet with Solid Concepts for more information on 3D printing (at 1pm)
order necessary materials
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$323.23 Spent
$6,176.77 Remaining
