Project Goal: to design and to prototype a spring-loaded hinge joint to hold lips when performing optical imaging of patients' lips

Machining and parts: 3D printing (Ender-5 Pro) using Polylactic Acid (PLA) for the joint housing;

A metal pin and a torsional spring for the hinge.

3D Design Software: Autodesk Fusion

Technical challenges: 1. design of a hinge joint to fit into an existing optical setup with dimensional constrains.

2. testing various springs for an optimal torsional force to hold lips.

Project Goal: to design and to prototype a metal housing to hold an objective lens for optical imaging of biological samples

Machining method: Metal 3D printing (outsourced to a specialized 3D printing manufacturer) using 316 stainless steel

Challenges: 1. To identify a specialized manufacturer with qualifications and suitable equipment for printing metal parts

2. To identify critical dimensions of the holder to ensure appropriate clearance in the assembly.
