Problem-Solving Thought Process
Lots of problem solving and trouble shooting goes into designing parts. Most parts go through many adaptations as I learn what works and what doesn't, as well as what makes a design the most effective in its purpose while maintaining visual aesthetics.
3D modeling allows me to visualize ideas without having to waste time and material. I am able to simulate how a mechanism will function on the computer. Through simulation, I constrain parts so that they can only move in ways that would be possible with real-life physics. Doing this has allowed me to make corrections to a part that does not work, far before ever testing it in real life.
1st Design- Does not work
1st Proposed Solution
Works, but ineffectively and unappealing looking
3rd and final iteration which works well, and takes up less space
This design maximizes capability of intended function
1st Rotational Design- Works, but unappealing
Aesthetically Unappealing
Would like to simplify to take up less space in z-axis
1st Proposed Solution
Modified to eliminate upper arm twist
