As we approach the culmination of an intense semester and the completion of our senior design project, the PolarFlow Optics team is proud to announce significant strides in our journey towards creating an innovative solution in the realm of ocular technology. With the end in sight, it’s time to reflect on our progress and share some exciting updates.
Final Prototype Design Sent to Johnson & Johnson Vision
One of the major milestones achieved by our team recently was the completion and mailing of our final prototype design to Johnson & Johnson Vision in Ireland. Our liaison engineer will now oversee the final testing phase, ensuring that our device meets the rigorous standards set by Johnson & Johnson Vision.
Prototype Inspection Day: A Showcase of Progress
Another highlight of our recent endeavors was the Prototype Inspection Day, where we had the opportunity to present our work to a panel of judges. This event provided us with invaluable feedback and insights as we fine-tune our design in preparation for delivery. Our presentation showcased the evolution of our project, from initial concepts to the intricacies of our final design.
Iterative Development and Simulations
Throughout the semester, our team has meticulously refined our prototype, focusing on every detail to ensure optimal performance. We have explored numerous iterations of nozzle designs, leveraging simulations to assess their efficacy and refine our approach. These iterative processes have been instrumental in shaping our final product, allowing us to overcome challenges and optimize functionality.
Discussion and Collaboration: Key to Progress
Central to our success has been the spirit of discussion and collaboration within our team. We have engaged in thorough discussions on control mechanisms, exploring various options to enhance precision and usability. Additionally, we have evaluated different materials for the suction tube, seeking to maximize durability and performance. These deliberations have paved the way for informed decisions and continuous improvement.
Looking Ahead
As we enter the final stretch of our senior design project, the PolarFlow Optics team remains committed to delivering a solution that pushes the boundaries of ocular technology. With our prototype in the hands of Johnson & Johnson Vision for testing and feedback from Prototype Inspection Day guiding our efforts, we are poised to make our mark in the field. The journey thus far has been challenging, yet immensely rewarding, and we are eager to see our vision come to fruition.
In conclusion, as we reflect on our progress and achievements, we extend our gratitude to everyone who has supported us along the way. Whether it’s our team members, faculty advisors, or industry partners, each contribution has been invaluable. With determination and perseverance, we are confident that the PolarFlow Optics project will leave a lasting impact in the realm of ocular technology.
Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on the final stages of our journey. Together, we are shaping the future of vision care.
