Project Name: Biaxial Tissue Stretching Device
Group Number: 30
Group Members: Krista Vedvik, Christopher Zarins, and Joshua Leibowitz
Current status of project:
The specific design of the device has been chosen, and has been presented to the class via the progress presentation and to the client and instructor via the progress report. Responsibilities regarding parts research have been assigned, and small variations on the final design can thus be considered.
Work completed in the last week:
· Completed and handed in progress report
· Assigned parts research responsibilities
· Set up a meeting with the client to discuss progress report
Work planned for next week:
· Research parts for major components (linear rails, stepper motors, etc.)
· Develop ideas for how to securely attach the drive mechanism while leaving the top of the bath accessible
· Develop ideas for how to make the culture medium more accessible
· Put dimensions to the parts of the device
· Familiarize ourselves with the DesignSafe software
Anything needed from client or TA or instructor to continue work:
Meeting with client scheduled for Tuesday November 6 at noon.
