Abstract [en]

The difficulties that liquid dispensing products in the homecare and health care industries experience are the main topic of this study. The main goal is to design and develop an easy-to-use, leak-proof dispensing mechanism that promotes product performance. The partnering firm finds major limitations with current designs, such as inefficiencies in liquid distribution and leaking when bottles are positioned at an angle or set flat.

The study's iterative process required the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software to ensure these objectives were met. The membranes and nozzles were prototyped and tested using 3D printing processes and were then followed up with a performance analysis. The tests for managing the dispensing and leakproof qualities were conducted under controlled conditions.

The findings demonstrated that although the leakproof and dispensing performance were improving, they were still not on par with the findings from the reference design. The improvement of the nozzle and membrane geometry as well as the sealing capabilities are crucial future steps that require attention. Furthermore, experimenting with different liquid viscosities in the future will aid in determining the general direction of the design.
