S2 WEEK 5
3/6-3/12
Project Status:
After talking to Dr. Felder on Sunday, we finalized our barb designs and asked our consultant to create the four designs on SolidWorks. Because Dr. Felder already has printed versions of both the tiered and microbarb designs, we printed the two-arrow and four-arrow designs. Although we switched our printing approach to stereolithography 3D printing, we still had some issues with the prototypes, so we are planning to refine the process by asking Dr. Felder for advice. We are also planning to begin testing this weekend.
​
Next Steps:
This weekend, we will be meeting with Dr. Felder in person to conduct some preliminary tests on the printed barbs. We will also discuss possible mesh designs in terms of modularity, with the input of Dr. Felder's new consultant who is an engineer.
