Challenge
The highly sensitive sensors used for measuring liquid drops, required precise quantity of light exposure and high transmission of light through sensing window, while keeping the IP 54 rating of the device intact.
Solution
PMMA(Acrylic) material, which has a light transmission ability of 92% (only next to glass which has 100%) was used as the material for sensor window, and the injection molding was done in two stages, following the concept of insert molding to control gaps and achieve IP 54 requirements.

Challenge
A compact portable device that needs to be carried by a patient, needs to have multiple functional elements inside the body and flexible elements such as electric wires and pneumatic tubes, has to be planned and organized in advance, while designing for ease of assembly.
Solution
The Pneumatic tubes and Electric cables were designed in CAD using routing options, the design had considered the minimum bending radius of the tubes and cables, as different wall thickness tubes will have different bending readius.

Challenge
After the pilot production of the device, a drop test was conducted and the Hook at the bottom of the device provided for supporting the tube was found to fail, with the projected plastic separating from main body.
Solution
Drop Test study on the body was conducted to analyze the failure reasons, based on results the design was modified with additional ribs and materials with high impact resistance properties were chosen and the tool was modified accordingly. the final product then passed the drop test.

Challenge
Fixtures used for mounting and assembly of large machinery and control panels that can weigh up to a few tons require careful material choice and CAE validation, as any failure can cause considerable damage and injuries.
Solution
Structural Simulation along with real boundary conditions such as gravity are included and to save the simulation time, complex parts are simplified without affecting the center of mass of the entire assembly.

During the fatigue test, the plastic pocket, housing the pivot pin, which is a critical component in the tacker, was found to fail before completing the minimum required number of lifetime cycles.
Solution
With the help of simulation, required amount of plastic thickness needed to be added to the plastic housing to make the product withstand for longer cycles was determined, the modification was done on the tool and the solution had proven to work.
