Funded Activity Summary
The precise manipulation and deformation of fine glass medical products. The production of high quality medical products requires strict process control, which is especially important for products of microscopic dimensions such as the glass pipettes used for in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures and other research applications. In this project, a tailored mechanical system capable of simultaneously deforming a fine glass pipette at two points of micro geometrical dimensions and different temperatures will be developed after accurately experimentally benchmarking and computationally simulating the process. The system will be able to accommodate different types of pipettes and significantly improve the productivity and quality of this micro process.Funded Activity Details
