Project Overview
Research has begun and will be continued
Possible design solution sketches in the work
Solidworks modeling has begun
Will be a continuous process between brainstorm, sketch, solidworks, 3D print, and test
No fabrication yet, but expected first prototype by Finals Week Presentation
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Research on Zebrafish and 3D printing
Sketching of design solutions
Goals for Next Week
Choose 1 initial design solution to prototype
Brainstorm 3 more ideas for each person
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting
Haven’t been able to have an in person meeting (they are away at a conference) since the kickoff meeting
Email feedback on first report:
“Hi Guys,
Great work! I just want to mention that we don't need the mold to hold the fish embryos from one stage to another. It's fine that having two molds to hold the fish separately. It's also fine for us that using a mold to generate an agarose plate to hold the fish, in this case the mold doesn't need to hold the fish directly.
Let me know if you need any help!”
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting
Add more items for risk reduction
Sent an email with the updated risk reductions
Remember to email updates the night before
Risks and Areas of Concern
As aforementioned, the materials used and how they could affect the fish and the study
Possibly a long testing cycle, as prototypes will have to be tested in the UCSD MED center labs, corresponding to the availability of Dr.Klemke and Dr.Wang
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Specific fish dimensions (websites may not be super accurate)
May need to get measurements by examination
Plastic toxicity to fish (not much research conducted on this)
May have to experiment with different materials
Schedule
See Gantt Chart
Budget
Amount Spent: $0
Amount Remaining: $2500
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report outline has begun
Webpage has not been started
Still need access to webpage from MAE156 instructors
