Bioreactor Improvement Based on Design for Assembly in Virtual Environments
Keyword(s):
A Bioreactor is a device used in tissue engineering to simulate the physiological environment required for cell growth, attachment, and immigration. The existing bioreactor is not user-friendly and difficult to operate. A great care has to be paid in the device application, such as assembly and disassembly in the operation. This research seeks to use design for assembly (DFA) methods to analyze and improve the design of the current bioreactor. Product difficulty levels are introduced to the DFA analysis. A new design is proposed to ease operation, save time and increase the application efficiency. The proposed solution is evaluated in a virtual environment using 3D assembly modeling and simulation.
