Abstract/Summary
This final design review includes an overview of our project and the steps we have taken to create our final product. We discuss the background research conducted, including various products like the foot shell we are trying to design and its related patents, along with similar past senior projects. As our product is considered a medical device, there are also certain standards that we must comply with. After determining our problem statement, we established what we believe to be the wants and needs of our user. These wants and needs were converted into specifications for our design, with durability as a main goal. These specifications were used to brainstorm initial design ideas through concept modeling. There are various images and diagrams of these models that we use to support our reasonings. A preliminary design solution was chosen after an analysis was performed on our concept models. We conclude the report with an overview of the steps we took to complete our project and design and manufacture a durable prosthetic foot shell as well as future plans for testing and manufacturing a full-size foot shell prototype. A summary of our conclusions and recommendations for next steps wrap up the project.
