Additive Optic Link

Engineering project

 

 


Description:

Optic fiber is useful for information transfer on huge distances. Being integrated into the structures, could be used for information transfer between PCBs. Thus data bus could be a part of a satellite structure. Additive technology is one way to manufacture such devices. Investigated technology will be implemented to CubeSat, and we will find implementation in other fields.    

Required skills:

  • Optics basic
  • CAD (Solid/Catia/Siemens NX)
  • Systems engineering
Outcome skills:

  • Glass fiber theory
  • Modeling for 3d printing
  • Manufacturing by 3d printing (participation)
  • Additive technology course at CDMM (optional)
Opportunities:

  • Potential for patent
  • Potential for commercialization
  • Potential for outside investments
  • Paper in Journal
