Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Contacted companies for printing our prototype.
Needed to make changes on CAD design so printing could actually be done.
Discussed ways to do fluid analysis on ANSYS on the current designs that we have.
Exploring ideas on how we can make this a single handed use device.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Sent CAD design for outsourcing.
Needed to make some updates on CAD design so printing could be successfully done.
Some design changes were made for the needle design so the prototype could be printed.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Meet with both sponsors and make sure budget proposal is appropriate.
Have a prototype of one of CAD designs outsourced.
Have more detailed simulations from ANSYS that displays further 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)
Tolerances are critical to note for CAD designs/outsourcing.
Avoid SLS and try to use SLA for smoothing out roughness of the surface
Conduct more fluid analysis in ANSYS for the current prototypes to test for efficiency and functionality.
Figure out budget approval as soon as possible.
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 CAD design
Refine/optimize design based on printed model
Edit/Work on report
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Still waiting for approval based on budget proposal
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report: waiting for feedback on draft 1
Webpage: updated internal pages
