Led MDPF Bottle Dispense Force Optimization and Supported MDPF (Multidose Preservative Free) Valve Design. - Modelling & assembling 13 complex mechanical MDPF components (and valve assemblies), in SolidWorks.- Conceptualized, designed and 3D printed 14 unique bottle shapes with different geometry. Conducted squeeze test across varying fill levels (100%, 60%, 20%) on all prototypes and recorded the force required to dispense a drop for each geometry. - Selected the most superior geometry; achieved up to 55% reduction in force required to dispense a drop MDPF valve. - Optimized the design & the dimensions of most superior shape by leading a DOE; further reducing the dispense force to 64%. - Optimized the process by fitting the experimental data into a regression model; saving 14 hours required for prototyping 1 bottle. With input variables as the dimensions of the bottle, this model enabled instant & accurate prediction of drop dispense force for those dimensions with a r-sq of 96.7%.
