Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Completed final assembly and attached to the Dr. Pen device for testing purposes.
Noticed some fluid leakage sometimes but still able to successfully deliver through the storage tank during the oscillation.
Finalizing final deliverables before the quarter ends.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Tested prototype.
Noticed that prototype cannot overcome fluid friction to pass through the needles.
Leaking issues do arise sometimes during the test.
Website and final presentation was updated.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finish report, website, and presentation by Wednesday
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Create a single handed use device
Mount a syringe into/onto the cartridge
Prepare a complete/workable CAD design based on our ideas and show to sponsors to figure out budget necessities.
Focus on optimizing previous team's design and fixing their prototype's flaws.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Discussion status of needles and delivery dates.
Will need to ream the prototype since it is being done as a SLS print in order to smooth out the surface. Suggest SLA for next prototype.
Recommended to drill the four holes under a microscope for extra precision.
Make sure to finish appropriate deliverables on time.

N/A
Risks and Areas of Concern
Have not been able to meet with Dr. Duncan but consistently meetings with Dr. Dobke
Difficult to meet with everyone in person.
Do not have lab access so anything physical needs to be potentially done at home.
Current prototype:
Structure or materials of needles may deform/break during injection.
Optimize size of current cartridge
Agent delivery system does not work as a whole
Energy could impact conditions of the injected agent.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Everything must be done virtually with the team.
Schedule
Describe upcoming milestone:
Test prototype
Refine/optimize design based on printed model
Draft final presentation
Edit/Work on report
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Obtained budget approval from Dr. Dobke to go ahead with necessary spendings
Have enough budget to outsource two prototypes
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report: added conclusion and updated images
Webpage: updated internal page, home, final design, and multimedia page
