Widget

A model of a provided 3D printed object. Demonstrates CAD proficiency and attention to detail. Give me a part, and I can re-create it in Fusion360 in under a week.

Cystoscope Handle

A playful, sea bunny-inspired, fully injection moldable redesign of the cystoscope. The patient experience is paramount, and laughter (if not the best medicine) is certainly a font of hope.

Power Strip Reverse LBM

An accurate estimate of materials and manufacturing cost for a commercial power strip. I'm now impossible to shop with; Walmart's injection molded toys can't fool me.

Medical Image Reconstruction

An artificial mitral valve constructed to fit the contours of your heart. What Hektor called Andromache, nestled in a palm.

Task: Isolate a mitral valve from MRI DICOM data ; fit a custom ring to it in Fusion360.

Skills: Cardiac Anatomy Segmentation, Slicer, Fusion360

Finite Element Analysis

A simulation of the mechanical forces on and yield strength of the nozzle of a cystoscope handle. Between Fusion360 and COMSOL, I might just be able to code The Matrix (a joke-very funny. you laughed.).

Task: Simulate the mechanical forces on a cystoscope sheath and design for a safety factor greater than 1.5.

Skills: Continuum Mechanics, Fusion360, Medical Device Design

Inflatable Speculum

A soft, gentle, and socially conscious redesign of the speculum designed for easy manufacturing and patient comfort. You, the girls, and the others with uteruses deserve more than James Marion Sims.
