Swift 10 Minute Cold Brew Coffee
I am currently working on a patent pending product that allows you to make Cold Brew Coffee in 10 minutes. The design process is teaching me a lot about iterative design, prototype testing, electronic design, and design for injection molding. I am also gaining experience working with Far East suppliers and getting better at rendering […]
Robot Wrist: Belts and Friction Differential
Approach I have worked my way through a course at Stanford on Youtube. The course is titled “CS235: Applied Robot Design for non robot designers. How to fix, modify, design, and build robots.” The classes had excellent content as I wanted to learn more about building robots, but did not have any experiences in college doing […]
Acoustic Pineapple Ukulele
Approach After the success of the electric ukulele, I wanted to make an acoustic one and test out the new wood-PLA mix filament I purchased from Hatchbox. I was able to use some of the same measurements and dovetail neck from the other design. My main focus would be a new body shape and some […]
Volcano Ukulele
Approach I came up with this project because I have a love for island culture and I wanted to challenge myself for my first 3D Printer design project. I began the design process by collecting some source material I could use to begin a design in Solidworks. I collected information on dovetail joints, proper spacing […]
Senior Design Project
Senior Design Project Project Description The goal of this project was to simulate the development of a new product in a four person design team. The market opportunity was mobility assistance for an aging population. Our team needed to identify opportunities where machines could support or enhance the mobility of an aging population and then […]
Maze Design
Maze Design Description I completed this project as part my CAD/CAM class at Notre Dame. The task was to create a maze given a specific sized plastic block. It involved designing the maze in Pro/ENGINEER, programming the toolpaths for a CNC router, machining the materials, and completing the assembly.
Sidewalk Power Generator
Sidewalk Power Generator Description This project was completed as part of my freshman Introduction to Engineering class in the spring of 2011. Our group was tasked to build any prototype we wanted and a GUI modeling the prototype with a $100 budget. The motivation behind this project was to create and build a solution to […]
Irish Robotic Pet Project
Irish Robotic Pet Project Description This project was completed during my freshman year intro to engineering class in the fall of 2010. The project involved designing a robot pet using Lego NXT for 5th graders based on their input. The project concluded with a class competition and the winners presented their project at a local […]
