Roof Rack One Pager
3D Puzzle Project
In this project, we were tasked with using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to design a 3D rendering of a roof rack for a car. The roof rack needed to fit specific load and yield requirements. Once designed, we made a "One Pager" advertising the design as a product.
In this project, our group was tasked with creating a 3D-printed "Puzzle Cube" made of different pieces. We made CAD drawings in Fusion 360 to model the puzzle, then we 3D-printed all of the pieces, and fit them together to make a 27^in cube.
JPL Wastebasket Challenge
Throughout the majority of the semester, we have been working in groups on the JPL Design Challenge. The challenge consists of various high school teams designing devices that facilitate a chain reaction. The reaction results in a piece of paper rolling into a waster basket while using at least three sources of energy. Our group used a combination of 3D printed spring launchers and servo motors to propel small balls through pipes.
