CAD Team
Benjamin worked on the Solidworks and Simulation for the titanium clip portion of the design. Ben did FEA on the final design to get a better understanding of how a titanium version placed under realistic pressure loads would behave.

Physical Prototype Team
Emily worked on developing the prototype. Emily specifically focused on the sewing of the PTFE. She chose the best fit sewing pattern for this tougher material and worked on developing different shapes that would work best to test. Emily and Erin both worked on the adhesive for the PTFE sack using the Permabond materials.

Physical Prototype Team
Erin worked with the rest of the sub team to print the model, make the PTFE sack, and do physical testing on it. She did the physical 3D printing for the design and was in charge of finding and buying materials for the team.

Physical Prototype Team
Everret worked with Emily to develop the PTFE sack and he worked with the hyaluronic acid hydrogel to find a consistency that was desirable for the design. He also documented much of the design process with notes and photos.

CAD Team
Pavan worked on developing CAD models for different design iterations. After meetings with the team or advisors, changes had to be made to the concept which he would take and implement into Solidworks. He also assisted Ben with the FEA.
