CoravinPrototype Testing Fixture
The TaskFor a new prototype, I needed to design and create a testing fixture to allow for repeatable measurements. The prototype's moving parts are sensitive to alignment and the testing fixture would mimic the path of motion in a repeatable, exact fashion.
The ImplementationTo approach this problem, I communicated with my team members involved in the design of the prototype to identify constraints, drafted multiple iterations of a CAD model using PTC Creo, and 3D printed my model until it fit the needs of the test.
The OutcomeMy time at Coravin ended before I was able to witness my fixture in use, but over the course of the iterative modeling process, I gained an intimate knowledge of the functions of the prototype and furthered the progress on the prototype as a whole.
