Laser Collimator Box
- Description: Designed and assembled custom sheet aluminum hemmed enclosure with placement of high intensity isolated lasers, diode collimation components, hardware, and EMF isolation and thermal management devices. Successfully tested in-field laser laparoscope connection with image isolation at the hardware level. Very fine tuning of component tolerances and EMF regulatory adjustments at the hardware level. Involved GD&T at the print level.
- Scope: QMS, PLM, 3D CAD (SolidWorks), FEA (SolidWorks FEA, ANSYS), Sheet Metal, EMF Testing, Tooling Design, DFM/DFA, 2D Manufacturing Prints, Research & Development
- Big Result: The startup – now thrice its size since my leave – is still using the laser collimator box stackup as the basis for pre-clinical work to showcase laser laparoscopic capabilities in vivo, saving potentially thousands of lives against surgical complication risks year over year.
