Our task is to develop an automated mold release application system to enhance the efficiency, and precision of catheter manufacturing. Our aim is to create a device that is consistent, adaptable, and user-friendly solution to meet the current demands of modern catheter manufacturing.
The Design we chose replicated the clamping mechanism of a bike pump in orde to remove the excess of mold release that was applied.
Our design process started with identifying customer and engineering constraints and how they relate.
The team then created a QFD to correlate and rank these constraints.
The team then iterated the design, going through 5 different designs on SOLIDWORKS and printed many prototypes. Resulting in the below model!
