[ 07.8.1 ]
Challenge
Intel's southern fab had no off-the-shelf suction heads that matched the unique tubing dimensions and pressure requirements of their existing piping system.
[ 07.8.2 ]
Approach
Designed a custom FDM-printed suction head using reverse engineering of the existing piping, selecting a chemically resistant polymer, and iterative testing to ensure a perfect seal and optimal flow rate.
[ 07.8.3 ]
Outcome
The custom suction heads integrated seamlessly into Intel's workflow, significantly improving operational efficiency at a fraction of the cost of traditional custom tooling or CNC machining.
