Abstract/Summary
This Final Design Review Report outlines the senior design project completed by a team of mechanical engineering students attending California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo for the McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Richmond, VA. The scope of the project was to design, build, and test a device for veterans with tremors that would allow them to enjoy their favorite drinks comfortably and easily, without worrying about spills. The final product must be lightweight, aesthetic, capable of handling various tremor types, and can be operated in multiple planes to allow the veterans full control over the device. This document details the overall steps taken to complete the project and establish our final design direction, “The Dynamug.” The following sections include the background research conducted to define the scope of our problem, the objectives of the project, our ideation and concept selection process, and preliminary analysis and CAD modeling for our final design direction. A final design section, including detailed CAD models, electronics and programming information, a structural prototype, and design changes after CDR is included. Manufacturing and detailed programming information is also included, followed by testing and results. Lastly, a project timeline is included with recommendations for further development.
