Project Background

The Mission:

The objective of this project is to go from a 3D scan of a physical pipe, create a 3D model of the pipe, and complete an FEA analysis and a flow simulation of the pipe's 3D model. With the results of the FEA and the flow simulation, we aim to make a more organic model of the pipe that will be 3D printed, to find potential efficiencies that can be made in both the pipe design and the documentation of the part details. By 3D-printing the pipe, the team is looking allow a reduction in manufacturing time while maintaining part complexity."
