Filter Strength Test Mechanism

The purpose was to create a quality assessment of pilot filters that examined product strength and determined viability. CAD and workshop competence were utilized throughout the development of this mechanism. The end result was a tool that the R&D department can use to ensure the quality of their products and test new experimental ideas.

Highlights

• Fabricated a custom test fixture enabling parallel evaluation of 5+ core geometries, cutting validation time by a minimum of 40%.
• Built a drop-test mechanism that identified key filter failure points, informing improvements to impact resistance.
• Delivered a reusable quality-assessment tool now used by the R&D team to vet products and test new ideas.
