Week 10 (November 2nd-November 9th)

During this week, we started to put together all the research and potential designs into a final report. An abstract was also created, which summarized what our report will discuss about.

Week 11 (November 9th-November 16th)

This week also consisted of our team working on the final report. We also began to discuss about having a decision matrix for each design in order to justify which design will be chosen for our prototype.

Week 12 (November 16th-November 23rd)

In week 12, our team has made progress in creating our final design on SolidWorks. To get to this step, we first created two decision matrixes to help justify our chosen design. The first decision matrix compared the 5 different design solutions we had while the 2nd decision matrix compared the pin tip’s shape. As a result from these two matrixes, it was chosen that design solution 5 will be used with the trapezoidal prism tips. Additionally, our team validated our requirements as well. Below are our matrixes and SolidWorks of the pin’s tip.
