Mechanical Engineer
June to August 2018
Concept Generation, Rapid Prototyping, CAD, Machining, Thermal Testing
SolidWorks, 3-Axis Mill, STM32
During my internship here, I was tasked with prototyping and developing a test-strip incubator (this is within the medical devices industry). As such, I went through the concept generation to CAD to rapid prototyping phase for this project. At the end, I had a prototype I was able to test with to see if my heating method worked by design.
This was very early on in my career, so I learned a lot of fundamentals around the design process! I also learned to program an STM32 chip for the user interface portion of the device, since that was the chip the company had on hand for us to prototype with.
