INTRODUCTION. The current project proposes to build a device that will secure and orient a model (Dental impression mold) for a process which creates a 3-D digital image by means of a laser lithography camera. Multiple scans are the norm in the laser lithography process, the design will be used for repositioning the dental mold for successive scans. The design needs to have a sequence of angular increments to add repeatability and control to the model positioning process. .

2. INTRODUCTION The current project proposes to build a device that will secure and orient a model (Dental impression mold) for a process which creates a 3-D digital image by means of a laser lithography camera.
Multiple scans are the norm in the laser lithography process, the design will be used for repositioning the dental mold for successive scans.
The design needs to have a sequence of angular increments to add repeatability and control to the model positioning process.
3. PROBLEM APRAISAL PHASE
4. CUSTOMER The unit will be used by the graduate students of the mechanical engineering department engaged in research in conjunction with the Indiana University School of Dentistry. Other customers for this design project include:
The Sponsor
The End User (Graduate M.E. Students)
5. CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS Response to a questionnaire provided a solid groundwork of desired
features, operating conditions, and design constraints. Important
operation conditions included the ability to operate under a one-pound
payload and to have safe operation in laboratory conditions.
Portability (Small size)
Stability
Multiple Degrees of freedom
Smooth translation
Controllable/measurable translation
Lightweight
Safe
Easy to operate
Easy to assemble
Easy to maintain
Affordable (low cost)
Minimize or eliminate Noise
Environment friendly
6. PROJECT BOUNDARIES For the project’s boundaries we identified the following:
Incorporation of the rotary table should simplify and offer more control over the orientation process.
The design should be a functional unit, which satisfies all customer requirements and accommodates for the existing laser.
The last major design boundary was the budget limit of five hundred dollars.
7. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The objectives of the design project are to create
a unit that can perform the functions described
earlier by:
Create a CAD model of device
Create a 2D drawings to enable manufacturing
Create a prototype

18. SKETCHES: THE CHOSEN CONCEPT 4
19. CONCEPT EVALUATION IDENTIFICATION OF FAILURE MODES
Failure modes were assessed by the group during this procedure.
They included:
Table rotation gear damage
Table tilt angle failure
Clamping system failure
Electrical motor failure
The group determined that all concepts would be able to meet the requirements at this phase.
20. PRODUCT DESIGN PHASE
21. PRODUCT DESIGN Based on our concept parts were modeled using Pro-Engineering
22. MATERIAL(S) SELECTION
Aluminum was chosen as the material for all the pieces that were to be
machined for various reasons, namely:
Light weight – the density is only 0.0975 lb/in3
High strength
Good workability
Resistant to corrosion
Widely used in aircraft fittings, marine’s fittings, brake pistons, and hydraulic pistons.
