Profile

Bio

I'm a Senior in Biomedical Engineering who is passionate about product development, finite element analysis, and Biomechanics. The MakerSpace has been a great place for myself, and I encourage anyone reading this to come by and explore! Working in a space open to all students produces ideas that would be impossible in major specific group, and this open environment has allowed me to learn many new, interesting skills. My personal focus is translating MRI / CT files into patient specific mesh files to be used for finite element study, and also 3D printing. I also look for new methods and tricks that can be used to create a broader range of designs with greater complexity from the laser cutters, 3D printer, and PCNC mill.

Projects

  • Replicating Human Hand Motion
  • First prototype after printing (closed)
  • First prototype after printing (open)
  • Rendering of second prototype in development (closed)
  • Rendering of second prototype with possible elastomer ('skin") covering (open)
  • Prototyping with elastomer material for flexible joint movement

)

  • Biaxial Device
  • Rendering of biaxial device for tissue testing
  • Rendered top view of small tissue sample in device
  • Rendered side view of tissue in configuration for testing
  • Sound Stand
  • Sound stand rendering in Fusion 360
  • Sound stand after being laser cut and assembled
  • Drawers
  • All eight drawers in place
  • One of the drawers. I used strips of wood instead of panels to cut down on material
  • Fixing Sink
  • Sink Knob rendering in Fusion 360
  • Sink Knob after being 3D printed in Nylon
  • Automated Silly String
  • Silly String holder design
  • Silly String holder in use
  • Acrylic Work
  • Layered spray-paint image on acrylic

Skills:

  • 3D Printing
  • Laser Cutter
  • CNC Mill
  • Analog Electronics
  • Microcontrollers
  • Basic Machine Skills
