Week 4

Working with Creo Parametric


This week, we spent time working with the project based on our timeline.
1       We researched and discussed to come up with the design for our tri-leaflet heart valve.

     We also met with each other outside the class to group-study for how to combine the mechanical tri-leaflet heart valves with the non-invasive surgery model. Here is what we figured out after research and discussion:
      
      

      It took a lot of time for us to figure out the best design. Finally, we decided to sketch it with Creo, then correct and improve it gradually. Before designing directly on Creo, we sketched our design on the following paper, such as: top, front and side-view of the overall project, as well as the detailed parts like hinges, like the following picture.

     

   
     Finally, based on the design we determined, as well as the dimensions that we researched and fitted to all our expected categories, we started applying Creo to sketch our project.

     We started with the most basic parts. First, we started drawing the ring, and then we drew the semi-circle of the tri-leaflet that will appear later.
