The team aims to develop a 3D printed prosthetic hand through their project, get it approved by eNABLE, and match it with someone in need. They plan to use SolidWorks in the design process and 3D printers to produce the prosthetic. The team faces challenges with delegation of tasks and gaining experience, but their skills in areas like communication and problem solving will help them succeed. The project will provide hands-on engineering experience and allow the concepts learned in class to become tangible.

TEAM PROTOTYPE Presentation Spring 2016
Delegation Too many tasks Even more people Project Managers Design Specialist
Feature Presentation
How does 3D printing work? 3D Model G-Code Plastic heated
Why 3D Printers? Adjustable- growing Affordable- standard prosthetic vs 3D printed prosthetic Accessible- constant advancements
How? SolidWorks- Fall, Winter, Spring 3D printers Imperfections
Project Manager ● Not knowing what to expect ● Multiple Tasks ● Needing Experience
Improved Skills ● Communication ● Organization ● Problem Solving
Our Background Experience/skill levels Picture of teams (beginner and advanced) Showing how we split up depending on level of SolidWorks skills This shows that in either skill level, the students can still participate in the project
Other Projects of Team Prototype T-3D Makeathon Design, 3D print and build a siege weapon in under 48 hours TESC Junkyard Derby Construct a cart out of junk Race the cart against other teams Catcher's hand Part of competition for designing sports prosthetics
“Engineering Intuition” Not just some mystical phrase said by professors One can see the concepts and equations manifesting in front of them Understanding is solidified Through projects, technical knowledge becomes tangible
Closing Remarks 3D Printing Opportunities Humanitarianism and Experience Never too late
Thank You

Editor's Notes

  1. Estevan: other skills gained Many different majors/year/levels of experience Every single member has something to gain from projects regardless of skill level
  2. Some of the projects that we have been a part of have been... These projects offer many benefits to the participants Sometimes getting away from pure theory and go to application in doing so, we develop what my professors call “engineering intuition”
  3. When i first heard the phrase imagined that it was something like spidey senses or the force, like a super power that all engineers had This phrase is not just something through around by professors. It is with projects that one acquires this skill/ability During the junkyard derby, as a structural engineer,I could see how to make our cart more stable. I could see the load paths in the body of the cart and could tell what would make it stronger and what would make it weaker Being on project teams not only provides members with professional experience, as discussed by Etevan, but also a deeper understanding of their technical knowledge This is the objective that alonso is trying to emphasise
