• Replace aluminium alloy
• Reduce thickness and weight of fan blade
• Withstand 920 Pa of static pressure, high relative humidity
(90-95%), and max temperature of 104ºF
• Redesigned the 1600mm blade utilizing 3D modeling and
mold flow analysis services from Avient Design
• Simulated mechanical load to determine which new
design would provide optimal performance
• Increased strength using a carbon fiber grade, enabling
injection-moldable parts and streamlined production
• Reduced blade thickness to 35% of the original and
blade weight from 7.71 lbs to 1.76 lbs (77% decrease)
• Improved overall efficiency of fan with a thinner, lighter
blade that cuts through the air
