Case Studies/Medical - Cervical Scope



Objectives: To design a cervical cancer inspection scope that: Can be manufactured and sold at low cost to under resourced regions Utilizes inexpensive and readily available components Light weight and rugged Require little maintenance and can be repaired with local resources	Alpha Prototypes
Design Features: 8X Binocular viewing Inter-ocular adjustment with self-alignment Two color, independently controlled LED illumination Self-contained power source using standard rechargeable batteries Fully adjustable suspension system
Materials/Process Selection Criteria: Targeting injection molding of optics alignment components Adaptation of readily purchasable optics & electronics where possible Designed for assembly with simple tools by locally trained workforce system. Engineering Tools and Prototype Fabrication: 3-D modeling for internal design reviews and layout 3-D models and 2-D drawings with specifications for prototyping CNC machining of components for 10 beta prototypes	Beta Prototypes
