Tape Roller Team Project
Class
Design for Additive Manufacturing
Skills
SolidWorks and Additive Manufacturing
My team and I developed two iterations of a tape roller. Our tape roller had to fulfill challenging constraints provided to us. We used SolidWorks to build both prototypes that were presented to the class. Utilizing DfAM techniques, we made significant improvements in functionality, user-friendliness, print time, material usage between both prototypes. We were able to do so with the help of feedback received from the class as well as ideas within the team.
I helped refine the design by adjusting dimensions, improving how parts fit together, and making the print setup more efficient. Through the process of iterations and testing, we made meaningful changes that improved usability while cutting down print time and material.
