03 Isle of Man Boomerang

Organization: Personal Project

Tools & Methods: Fusion360, 3D Printer, CNC

Pictured on the left are the various design and manufacturing stages of a tri-wing boomerang I designed and fabricated to look like the emblem on the Isle of Man Flag.

Personal Contributions:

- developed various iterations of the CAD model for the boomerang using lofts

- ran CFD to establish similarities between my model and a traditional tri-wing boomerang

-add 3D tool pathing

- manufactured an iteration of the boomerang with a 3D printer

04 Beaver Box

Organization: Conservation Ambassadors

Tools & Methods: MIG welders, rivet gun

A conservation zoo in Southern California required a larger habitat for their two beavers. My team and I manufactured it out of metal and corrugated plastic for durability and rust resistance.

- researched beaver behavior and habitat requirements

- developed the shelter design around the daily habits of the animals, their physical characteristics, and  the constraints of the enclosure

- fabricated the structure using MIG welding for the angle-iron frame and a rivet gun to attach the plastic
