Medical linear accelerator (LINAC)

thingiverse

This precision medical linac, capable of rotating around the patient, was conceptualized by Cameron Tharp, a talented summer student at the renowned University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The original purpose behind this innovative design is to facilitate effective patient education; however, it could also serve as an invaluable tool for training radiation oncology dosimetrists or staff. To assemble these modular components, carefully follow the provided instructions, which reference the diagram below: 1. Join Component #6 with its complementary part, Component #5, by firmly attaching them using a reliable adhesive material such as glue, ensuring they align properly with their shared notch and interior design. 2. Locate the precisely designed raised peg on Component #7 and carefully position Component #4 on top of it to establish a strong foundation for the subsequent assembly steps. 3. Take the already combined components (Components #5 and #6) and slide them seamlessly into the spacious hollow slot located on Component #4, resulting in the completion of Component #1 as the assembly process reaches its halfway mark. 4. Position the freshly created component, #1, directly onto the carefully positioned raised peg of Component #7 to create a solid base for further construction. 5. Insert one end of Component #2 into the cleverly designed circular indentation situated on the backside of Component #3. 6. Once the components are securely attached (Components #2 and #3), position the open end of Component #2 neatly into the precise hole found in Component #1, completing another essential step towards full assembly. 7. Firmly attach both halves of Component #8 to either side of Component #3; upon completion, this joint operation results in the finished version of Complete Component #3
