Project 1
Phone Holder
This right here is a simple phone holder that I designed. It allows one to place the phone horizontally at a comfortable viewing angle. The design was quite simple and is only one solid piece.
Project 2
Gasket Project
This right here is the Gasket Project. The main priority of this project was to produce a 1/16" thick PVC gasket that will fit on top of the block allowing unrestricted access to all of its features. Was then machined using a CNC mill. Accurate measurements were required and had to fit within the components of .005" tolerance. The CAD and CAM was done on SolidWorks. Any manufacturing defects noticed were fixed after CNC milling.



Project 3
Succulent Waterer
This is a succulent watering machine. It is powered by 4 motors, allowing the ability of the user to water succulents automatically by moving in x-y coordinates and then simply injecting water onto the succulent at small intervals when need be. In a team of four, all split roles and collaborated in designing, manufacturing and testing of the project. The parts were designed in CAD in order to simulate and test motion, while also ensuring good inter-part integration. Using linear guides, pulleys, belts, and aluminum extrusions, the system was brought together. An Arduino was used to control the motors.

Project 4
Motor Speed Control Project
The goal of this project is to design a systems that transports a 1-foot long vertical metal bar across a variable distance which will randomly range from five to ten feet and back, stop to stop, without toppling. In this project, calculations and coding were completed in a group in order to be successfully implemented. The simulations were completed using SolidWorks Multibody Dynamic Simulation to validate design concepts. It was constructed with laser-cut and 3d printed parts. Through motion optimization and calculation, successfully enabled the ability to minimize time required to complete the challenge. Through team collaboration, the tasks were well divided and coordinate to complete this project in a short time frame. The cart was controlled through an Arduino and 12V gear motor. Our team won first place.

Cart Running

Simulation Reaction force results testing if calculated max velocity result in no reaction force causing no toppling of the bar.
