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.
