CENTRIFUGE TUBE READER (CTR) - VALIDERE

What? How? Results

Design and fabricate a device that
reads the sediment and water
quantity in oil with 95%+ accuracy
Performed a needs analysis to
initiate the design process
Used sheet metal features in
SolidWorks to design this
Applied GD&T on all drawings
Joined flat surfaces via spot
welding
The design fulfilled its purpose with
97% accuracy (vs.80% previously
when readings were done by
humans)

TUBE HOLDER - VALIDERE

What? How? Results

Reduce amount of time it takes to
fill tubes with oil
Minimize human operator error
Designed on SolidWorks
Joined the 4 components that make
up the tube holder via MIG welding
Fabricated bends via break forming
Tumbled the tube holder to
smoothen the rough exterior
Human operator error was
reduced by 53%
Implemented DFM principles
to reduce overall part
production cost

SOLAR PANEL TEST FIXTURE - AXIS LABS

What? How? Results

Test AXIS Lab's solar panels at various Used SolidWorks to design fixture Reduced faulty products sold to
levels in illumination (100 - 5000 lux) Used Arduino for electrical structure customers by 75%
Minimize amount of faulty products Implemented DFA principles to
sold to customers reduce product assembly cost

THERMOSTAT PACKAGING - ECOBEE

What? How? Results

Create a low cost, lightweight packaging for Used SolidWorks to design Reduced production costs by
ecobee's thermostat the outer box 62%
Packaging is used to hold the thermostat Contacted manufacturers in Built relationships with
safely as it is shipped to contractors who are China to fabricate the Chinese manufacturers
installing it as part of a home renovation packaging

DRILL GUARD

What?
Drilling holes results in dust, the Drill
Guard collects it
How?
Used injection molding to fabricate this
due to the part's complex geometry
Drill Guard needed to be strong to
withstand the stresses caused by the
power drill, so injection molding with an
added calcium carbonate filler was used
in order to improve elastic modulus and
achieve the desired strength
