Our customer came with an existing concept to expand their product line. They needed a syringe-like measurement device: we spec’d off-the-shelf components, and a .25 deg tapered cylinder, to minimize molding costs. By implementing engineering best practices, we were able to provide a cheaper, simpler, more robust solution to the client’s goals.
We developed the bone allograft (near right) with a leader in the biomedical sector. In addition, we sourced the cutting tools necessary (far right) for them to manufacture the part in-house. Using data from cancellous bone structure, we were able to develop a geometry that worked in conjunction with our client’s special osteoconductive product to create a final product with a focus on fusion as well as facet stabilization.
Our customer came to us with fluctuating gas pressure in their highly-expanded facility. With a highly-controlled facility under heavy use, an invasive solution was out of the question. We engineered a solution that increased incoming gas pressure to the existing supply trunk, while regulating branch pressures to protect end-use equipment. This satisfied their pressure requirements at full flow, while requiring hardly any intrusion into the existing controlled space. On the spreadsheet on the right, the red cells indicate inadequate gas flow during use, before our solutions– the chart on far right shows all flow was adequate upon project’s completion.
As my colleagues have prepared for the PE, I started to create instructional videos for core material review, by request. This side project has morphed into fully-functional post-secondary curriculum development. We focus on using pedagogical research to improve the learning experience, using technology-based tools when necessary. Presently, we have almost 100k views, and have finished beta testing at a top tier university. You can find out more at educadia.org .
A customer was exploring the feasibility of in-house manufacturing of a new product line. This sketch represents our first go at a tumbling container that met their stringent manufacturing requirements, while also addressing highly volatile fluids and cost concerns. The final design included controls equipment, material storage, safety equipment, and a manufacturing station.
