Background (Massage Gun Design)
New motor and battery are sourced. Design solutions are proposed for two components on the current production percussion massage gun to achieve 10% weight reduction, while meeting product functionality, durability, sizes, packaging, DFM/DFA requirements.
Methods
-
Analyzed the system requirements such as the power needed for battery and motor, and the potential abuse use from users.
-
Decoded the system requirements into the fundamental physical parameters that governs the design solutions.
-
Provided initial design solutions to meet the functionality, size, product packaging, component servicing goals.
-
Leveraged CAE analysis such as Optistruct optimization tool and static analysis to study the load path, deformation, and stress to maximize the weight reduction.
-
Proposed final detailed design based on CAE validation and followed design rules to meet DFA/DFM constraints.
