Mechanisms and Machines
Rotavator Gearbox
What: a gearbox for an agricultural rotavator. How: CAD modelling, FEA of the gear loads and machined housing. Results: a compact, serviceable gearbox ready for prototyping. Tools: SolidWorks, ANSYS, CNC milling.
Mechanisms and Machines
Robotic Claw
What: a multi-linkage gripping claw. How: mechanism design in CAD, FDM prototyping and iterative fit testing. Results: a working gripper with repeatable open and close travel. Tools: Fusion 360, FDM printing.
Mechanisms and Machines
Line Follower Robot
What: an autonomous line-following robot. How: chassis designed for DFM, printed parts and sensor mounting. Results: stable tracking on a test course. Tools: SolidWorks, FDM printing.
Mechanisms and Machines
Press Machine
What: a manual press for forming and assembly work. How: frame and ram designed in CAD, structural checks in FEA. Results: a rigid frame suited to light pressing duties. Tools: SolidWorks, ANSYS.
Product Design
Vesmoon Tumbler
What: a drinking tumbler designed for everyday use. How: form and wall geometry modelled in CAD, grip and fit refined through prototypes. Results: a finished design ready for manufacture. Tools: Fusion 360, KeyShot.
Product Design
VR Headset Stand
What: a stand to hold a VR headset when not in use. How: cradle and base designed for FDM printing without supports. Results: a stable, low-cost stand that fits the headset securely. Tools: SolidWorks, FDM printing.
