Project Narrative

[2] Final Modelling Design.

The following are inventor diagrams of our final model: (figure [3] and [4])

Our team was tasked with developing a unique and smart method for securely transferring and sterilizing surgical equipment. Our team of 5 was split into 2 sub- teams which both went through rapid prototyping stages. My sub-team (modelling sub-team) was responsible for modelling the best possible container to securely hold the surgical equipment that was assigned to our group. My sub-team made multiple prototypes of possible design solutions, each having their own pros and cons and at the end a final design was chosen based on the previous prototypes which was deemed most optimal considering it had the ,most pros and the least cons. The final design is shown on the left.

                                          Time line of project: Oct 26 - Dec 6 

Team’s Work and Personal Contributions

Team’s Work:

• Coding the instructions for the Q bot
• Creating the design for the container

My individual Contribution as an Administrator:

• Jointly worked on the design of the container
• Submitted all of the modelling sub-team’s work
• Provided description of proposed solution

I have contributed to a lot of the major identities of our finalized container including the lid design with the big handle for easy accessibility for the q arm which was on my own prototype:

[5] I also contributed to the idea of having wholes on the sides of the container to increase sterilization efficiency which was also used on the final design.
