    • Lisbon, New Hampshire, United States

    Analyzed CFD data for a thermoplastic extruder that makes custom multi-lumen catheters to determine if the extrusions would meet customer specifications.Modified the extrusion tooling through 10 design iterations using Inventor to improve flow distribution.Researched the yield strengths and elastic moduli of three different extruded thermoplastics at high temperatures, conducted tensile tests, and analyzed experimental yield stress to assess the viability of coreless extrusion.Designed two fixtures for non-destructive tensile testing of 10 samples ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 in diameter to validate the strength of the catheter tip attachment.Researched possible materials to replace the fiberglass wrap on extruder heads to keep workers safe from burns. Designed a ceramic piece assembly in CAD to fit over and attach to the extruder head to work as a heat guard.
