Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Finished CADing optimized design on SolidWorks and created two potential prototypes.
Conducted fluid analysis on ANSYS using new model.
3D printed one of the potential designs.
Exploring ideas on how we can make this a single handed use device.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finished CAD developments based on previous team's final model and created two new designs.
3D printed design 1.
One of our sponsors provided us with syringes and lure lock tubing so we can try to mount syringe into/onto the cartridge.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Meet with both sponsors.
Outsource design 1.
Have some kind of simulation from ANSYS that displays some fluid analysis for both designs.
Conduct any needed literature reviews on possible developments needed.
Update report and team webpage.
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)
Find out the friction of the O-ring since 3D printing may be difficult depending on its value.
Avoid SLS and try to use SLA for smoothing out roughness of the surface
Tolerances are critical.
Be cautious in how to go about decreasing the ID.
Figure out budget approval as soon as possible since more likely to spend three times the predicted amount.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
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:
Outsource first design
Refine design 1 and design 2
Edit/Work on report
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Awaiting for approval based on budget proposal
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report: edited report and completed over 50% of the content in each chapter
Webpage: updated internal pages
