Design and manufacture of a CNC desktop lathe for use in a project-based class
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The objective of this project is to evolve the design of a CNC desktop lathe for use in a project-based class and then fabricate a prototype to confirm the functionality of the design. This iteration of the lathe effectively ... -
Design and manufacture of a high-G unmanned aerial vehicle structure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)In 1997, the Charles Stark Draper Laboratories commenced a project with the objectives of reducing the risk, cost and time associated with obtaining time critical battlefield reconnaissance data. The Wide Area Surveillance ... -
Design and manufacture of a large-scale collagen protein model for educational use
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)A meter-scale model of the fibrous 1CGD molecule, a synthetic collagen-like peptide, was modeled and manufactured for educational use. We chose to model and manufacture the 1CGD molecule because collagen is of biological ... -
Design and manufacture of a low-cost mechanism for compacting used oil filters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Used automotive oil filter disposal is a real and increasing problem in the United States. With over 450 million oil filters sold each year, and 80% of used filters thrown into landfills, this waste represents a significant ... -
Design and manufacture of a modular cylindrical apparatus for ferrofluid experimentation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Ferrofluids, colloidal suspensions of coated magnetic nanoparticles inside a carrier fluid, respond to externally applied magnetic fields. This thesis addresses the behavior of these fluids when subjected to an azimuthally ... -
The design and manufacture of a powder deposition system for a large powder bed on a three dimensional printer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Design and manufacture of a rear driveline package including limited slip differential for Formula SAE applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This document describes the design and manufacture of a lightweight rear driveline package for a Formula SAE race car. The design focuses on all components needed to transfer power from the chain driven Honda CBR600 F4i ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
Design and manufacture of an electro-mechanical hand position tracker
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis discusses the conceptual design, manufacture, and assembly of a device that tracks the movements and position of a user's hand. This device will be used for stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation using robotic ... -
Design and manufacture of an icosahedral virus model for educational use
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A model of an icosahedral virus was designed and manufactured. Much consideration was given to the design of different aspects of the part. though there were many uncertainties about some parameters that disallowed precise ... -
Design and manufacture of an ultra-high field ex vivo coil assembly
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Magnetic Resonance based architectonic segmentation aims to detect variations in brain architecture that may provide incredible insight into diseases such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, dyslexia, and autism. Data from ex vivo ... -
The design and manufacture of immediate-release optimal solid dosage forms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Pharmaceutical manufacturing has traditionally been considered largely a matter of regulatory compliance. Consequently, it has been inefficient, but it is now increasingly being recognized as an opportunity for cost ... -
Design and manufacture of low cost vaccine cooler
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Vaccines are very sensitive to temperature, needing to be held between 2 and 80°C to maintain potency. In developing countries where electricity and fuel supplies are unreliable, many vaccines are ruined due to thermal ... -
The design and manufacture of mass production equipment for a pencil with a seed
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Autosprout is the mass manufacturing equipment envisioned to produce Sprout, a pencil with a seed. This pencil concept was developed by MIT students a successful round of funding and first production run through Kickstarter. ... -
Design and manufacture of plastic markers for Agile Atoms DNA Set
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)My thesis focused on the design and manufacturing of plastic parts for the Agile Atoms DNA Set that is distributed by the MIT Edgerton Center. The design of the parts had to be easy to manufacture in-house, be easily ... -
Design and manufacture of the 2003 2.007 wireless control boxes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)A new smaller, lighter, and more durable wireless control box was designed and built for use in the 2.007 Design Contest. The new units can also be commanded by an external controller via a standard serial interface. -
