Design and manufacture of plastic markers for Agile Atoms DNA Set

[摘要] My thesis focused on the design and manufacturing of plastic parts for the Agile Atoms DNA Set that is distributed by the MIT Edgerton Center. The design of the parts had to be easy to manufacture in-house, be easily differentiated, and be able to endure multiple use cycles. Many design aspects were discussed with the curriculum developer at the MIT Edgerton Center. The process of the mold design and machining is outlined here with suggestions for improvements for future iterations. The mold designs are completed, the molds have been machined, and production runs have commenced.
