ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROJECT
Slit Valve Door
The aim of this project was to pick a technical product and redesign it to take advantage of additive manufacturing techniques. The product I have redesigned is a slit valve door, such as one used to seal vacuum chambers. A second iteration of this project would compare a non-uniform 2D cross-section to the current honeycomb design.
