Injection molded heater cap redesign
Product flaw identification
Design Analysis: Mandatory sections highlighted in green
Design Analysis: Sections with mass reduction potential highlighted in blue and removable sections highlighted in red
Simulation: Using Sigmasoft Virtual Molding software
Redesign proposal: Main focus on thickness reduction and design rules imposed by the manufacturing method (injection molding)
Redesign validation: Finite Element Analysis for the assembly configuration
Redesign validation: Finite element Analysis for the pressure inside the heater
Prototyping: Timelapse of prototype 3d printing on FDM machine
Prototyping: Assembly test
