Project Budget

Based on the development and construction of the artificial pulmonary heart, the project required a single resource, the rapid prototyping 3D printer.  The 3D printing is paid for through Drexel University and did not affect the budget of the group.  



After the prototype of the artificial valve was created, the group wanted to simulate blood flow and valve effectiveness through online simulation software.  The group looked into the MATLAB addition, Simulink.  The student edition of this software is $29, and the group was willing to put the expense into the budget.  However, there were several discrepancies with acquiring the software.  MATLAB said the student version of Simulink is not compatible with Drexel University’s TAH Site License.  Moreover, the company never responded with a full-price version quote for the group’s project.  There has been no other purchases within the group for another software program, but there may be possible expenses for software in the next week.
