3D Prints
A lot 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 also staying visually appealing.
Problem-Solving Thought Processes
1st design
proposed solution to issue of first design
3rd and final iteration which mechanically works well, and looks good
final iteration V3
1st rotational design
modified design to eliminate upper arm twist
3D modeling allows me to visualize ideas without having to waste time and material. I am able to simulate how a certain mechanism functions, and where troubles arise on the computer.
