Reliability
Case study
Additively Manufactured Lattices
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the production of complex lattice structures that cannot feasibly or economically be manufactured any other way. However, there are complicating factors that engineers are likely to confront when designing fine AM lattice structures: geometric inaccuracy and anisotropic material properties.Anisotropy of 3D-Printed Polymers
Many additively manufactured polymers exhibit anisotropic mechanical properties which must be accounted for by engineers designing with these materials. This case study illustrates the importance of testing additively manufactured polymers at many orientations to identify the range of isotropic behavior as well as the optimal build orientation.Methods to Eliminate Stiction in MEMS
Stiction in MEMS devices can occur during manufacturing, testing, and operation in the field. Veryst Engineering approaches this problem through design and manufacturing processing to assure that stiction is eliminated in MEMS structures.Modeling a MEMS LiDAR Mirror
MEMS mirrors raster the laser beam in many next-generation LiDAR system designs. Constructing a finite element model of a MEMS mirror is challenging, as it is difficult to represent the large number of comb fingers in the comb drives that actuate these devices. Veryst addressed this problem by using mixed analytic and finite element approaches to construct accurate finite element models.Small Sample Size Lifetime Prediction
How long will a product last? This is an essential question during product development, but accurately predicting product end of life can be hampered by limited data. Veryst provides a method for the reliability engineer to predict end of life with a small sample size and shows how the proper lifetime prediction method can eliminate unexpected field failures.Service
