We are The Knee Team and we consist of the biomedical pathway students Krysta, Keira, Cindy and Rinda. Just recently we have finished our preliminary designs for our joint model. After putting in the time for anatomy research and joint modeling we began to conduct customer interviews. Because we didn’t really have access to professional... Continue Reading →
If we thought 3D modeling all the individual pieces was hard assembling them on Autodesk Inventor and in real life is another challenge in the Maker Cycle journey. While Jessica and I were making the individual pieces together I was worried that when it came to assemble them together in Inventor that they would not... Continue Reading →
This week, JetSet divided into two distinct teams, to better tackle our many requirements for the upcoming midterm presentation. The Biomed team, Anjali M. and Isha P., were responsible for creating our Powerpoint presentation; they also gathering photos and images from our blog posts to create a complementary visual display (read more about their adventures...

Well these past few days have been very hectic for team M.O.M. With ordering our material and trying to scramble to put together a prototype for our design. With the ordering and the budget in mind we found it hard to almost impossible to built even a non-working prototype of our design, and our group... Continue Reading →
Before I started this blog post I realized that only the engineering students, with the exception of the biomedical students who still remember 7th grade PLTW, would know what Autodesk Inventor is. Since, my blog post is going to consist mainly of the good ole adventures one can expect to have with Autodesk Inventor, I... Continue Reading →
JetSet is really zooming along in the design process. The team has broken up into two groups, Prototype Design and Biomedical Research. The prototype design group is focusing on making a 3D model of our prototype. The biomedical research group is focusing on how our design affects the different body systems and how our design...

For our prototype, our group is going to 3d print our test casing so that we have more control over the shape. While Jessica and Paloma were modeling it on autocad, it was up to Kyrie and I to order the plastic. The Makerbot can use both types of mainstream thermoplastics, ABS-Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene- and... Continue Reading →
JetSet has now entered the third major phase of the design process: making. Until the end of the semester we will be ordering materials, modeling our device with 3D modeling software, and building our first prototype (no, not drawing, BUILDING). It’s pretty exciting! I’m especially enthusiastic about this stage of the design process because I... Continue Reading →
