Project Overview
The current state of the project is to improve upon the previous semester's proof of concept work. The previous semester focused on 3D printing for manufacturing, which was a very good system for creating preliminary prototypes, however, this client has requested that the team focus on finding a new composite biomaterial as well as navigating the process in such a way that it can be patentable in the future. The team has also been tasked with finding another manufacturing method that will allow for upscaled high volume manufacturing with the new composite biomaterial.
