Tuesday was a significant day for our project – Prototype Inspection Day. We presented our overall design and progress to three groups of judges, and the feedback from each group was insightful. We received some great suggestions, and we’re definitely keeping those in mind as we move forward with the next steps of our project.

Looking ahead, the rest of the semester is all about gearing up for the System Level Design Review, which serves as a follow-up to the Preliminary Design Review. This is where we’ll dive into the details of our plan for the Spring semester.

Our prototype featured a variety of components, including the Nozzle with its Clam Shell, Lid, Inner Nozzle, and Custom Heaters. There’s also the Optoform 60 Bracketry, showcasing our Custom Bracket and Insulation Tubing Inlet. In the Waste Removal department, we included the Vacuum Adapter, Fixture to Tube, and a Custom Tube that we’re still testing out.

We’re really excited about our next steps!
