S2 WEEK 10
4/17-4/23
Project Status
This week we printed the mesh with Lucas. We ended up printing it a bit thicker than we planned, at 3mm instead of 1mm, but it should still be sufficient to perform testing to determine the effectiveness of the mesh at withstanding shear force. We worked on refining the details of our testing plan for the mesh. We are going to construct some clamps to hold the tissue and use the tensometer to pull down on one end of the tissue. The mesh will be used to hold the two pieces of tissue together. We will also film it from above to show the strain.

Next Steps
The beginning of next week we will conduct our verification testing, and then move on to writing our final paper and making our final prototype for demonstration.
