We performed one long project that spanned the entire 10 weeks of the Spring 2021 quarter. Our task was to use SolidWorks to create and eventually print a medical device of our own design. This project was performed in a large team, dubbed AGIRIA: Synergistic Solutions.
Our product is called the Issa Brace, with usability and speed in mind. The idea is to make a brace that is temporary but can be self attached and with minimal damage to a broken or sprained hand. The concept was fleshed out over the 10 week project, and I became in charge of the digits (white top pieces) and their design. I modeled them after older models of 3D printed fingers, and the designs are shown below.
I also performed the simulations necessary to show the strength and load bearing capabilities of our design, in relation to the base plate. The video on the right shows the 30 second clip I recorded for a 2 minute video summarizing our product's parts and intricacies (below).
Phase 5_ Assembly and Prototype Report.pdfTo the left is the formal progress report submitted for the final result.
The final part was to actually 3D print the structure, but due to limitations of printing our physical product with the right filament, we were unsuccessful in making the device work 100%. However the experience was fun and we got full marks for the project.
Below is the 2 minute video summarizing the product, detailing what we did right and what we could improve on.
