Design and Rapid Prototyping


Halo Energy Sword.

I worked with a friend of mine to 3D print this energy sword. This design was taken from Adafruit. After 3D printing the model, we wired a spare LiPo battery to a switch and a micro-controller. The micro-controller was wired to two sets of Neopixel light strips running the inside length of the sword. After learning some basic C++ (from Joshua), we created 8 different controllable light animations with a start and stop switch.

The Bean.
Industrial Design Projects.

In one of my classes, as part of the Segal Design Certificate, I was tasked with designing a product that could be mass produced using a material that anyone has access to and can manufacture with: corrugated cardboard. Using the lasercutter and Fusion360 slicing software, I made a topographic cardboard bean model that can be sold as a cheap tourist gift!

Originally, the bean would not balance properly, so I opened it up and added a weight to keep it properly balanced.
