Next up, we\u2019ve locked in six hours of machining on Tuesday to complete the manifold. The final step? Drilling the angled holes in the top plate using an angled vise and manual mill. We\u2019re also fully stocked with all the necessary fittings and connectors, bringing us closer to assembly. To streamline the process, Rohan 3D-printed the manifold\u2019s sensor mounting surface for a final fit check before machining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of diving headfirst into complex simulations, our CFD team is taking a smart approach\u2014starting with simpler geometries to fine-tune accuracy before scaling up. This method will ensure our Ansys simulations are rock-solid when applied to our final model. Another exciting update: Alex has finalized our LabVIEW VI, so all sensors are now set up and ready for data collection. With manufacturing, CFD, and data acquisition moving forward quickly, we\u2019re entering the final stretch before wind tunnel testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exciting times ahead\u2014stay tuned as we push toward the finish line!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"858\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-150341-edited-1024x858.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-150341-edited-1024x858.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-150341-edited-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-150341-edited-768x643.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-150341-edited-251x210.png 251w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-07-150341-edited.png 1083w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gainesville, FL, USA &#8211; FEBRUARY 5: Top plate fully CNCed and ready to be fit onto the wind tunnel test section.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/xo50qksx.png\" alt=\"CNC machining the top plate\" class=\"wp-image-1109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/xo50qksx.png 508w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/xo50qksx-228x300.png 228w, https:\/\/www.ippd.ufl.edu\/blogs\/ay2425team06\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/183\/2025\/02\/xo50qksx-160x210.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gainesville, FL, USA &#8211; FEBRUARY 5: Top plate in the CNC being machined to size.
