Note that the 3D Model is rotated on its side. The correct orientation is shown in the renders and pictures. Attempts to re-orientate resulted in non working STEP/IGS files.

The component weighs 0.087 pounds and has a volume of 1.803 in^3.

The design requires no support material when printed in the orientation shown in the render. All bolt holes are easily accessible by technicians and is a single body to facilitate installation.

The design was created through topology optimization. Afterwards, several criteria features were implemented. The resulting design's structure was analyzed with FEA and a mesh convergence study was conducted to validate the analysis. A maximum stress of 4338psi was found, which is less than the material allowable of 4.5ksi.

A full explanation of the design, process, optimization, and stress analysis can be found in the document labelled "GrabCAD ULA Rocket Hardware Challenge Design Description.pdf".
