3D Model from Scanning Microscope

Computational 3D Design

Generated 3D CAD model for micro-scale parts by scanning them using microscope and then rendering it using MATLAB and OpenGL to capture all the features and details. Then fabricated micro scale part with 3D printing using the generated CAD model.

Pattern making Machine using 3D Printable threads

Mechatronics Design

Made a prototype machine which creates a user defined sewed pattern by connecting the holes on a piece of paper using threads. The user input is taken through an interface similar to android screen lock and then pattern information interpreted and collected using C++ and python which is then sent over to controller. These threads will be replaced by conductive threads and a circuit on an electrical board can be printed based on user input.

Determination of Significant Process Parameters

Statistical Modelling

A design of experiments was conducted in order to determine the important process parameters and understand their cumulative effect in order to optimize the process of multi-material fabrication through 3D printing. The data representation and analysis are done in R with a python code to collect data which is then sent to R.

Design of Highly Repeatable Governor

Product Design, FEA

A highly repeatable centrifugal governor was designed to deflect within a case without coming in contact with the inner walls. The governor was modelled and then tested in COMSOL to find maximum stress and deformation regions, and the design dimensions were improved and finalized after several iterations of simulation.

Quad copter for Agricultural Surveillance

Mechatronics Design

Designed chassis of copter and programmed the controller to fetch data from IMU, then computed it to give appropriate PWM to motors through ESC for dynamic balancing of copter. Used MATLAB image processing tool to find out the infected regions in the agricultural field captured by infrared camera during surveillance.
