Overview
This device was designed for laboratory experiments requiring independent single fruit fly culture and stable micro-scale feeding. The design emphasizes precise feeding, compact layout, and convenient assembly.
My Contributions
- Responsible for CAD modeling, structural design, and whole-device manufacturing.
- Optimized the layout of moving parts and execution mechanisms.
- Improved spatial utilization under the constraints of single fruit fly culture experiments.
- Designed the structure with assembly convenience and experimental stability in mind.
Outcomes
- Completed the mechanical design and manufacturing workflow for a lab automation device.
- Improved understanding of engineering constraints in experimental equipment design.
- Connected mechanical design decisions with real laboratory usage needs.
