Car Ramp Corrosion Mitigation

Conducted research and analysis on the material properties, heat treatment, corrosion resistance, and tensile strength of an A36 Steel Car Ramp (left). Leveraging principles of Materials Science, the ramp was redesigned utilizing Polymethyl Methacrylate to mitigate environmental impact while enhancing corrosion resistance. Engineered a SolidWorks model (right) with an FEA simulation under the same load conditions to confirm the alternative material would have similar strength as the A36 Steel and could hold the mass of an average car.

Water Balloon Launcher XTREME

Designed a pneumatic Water Balloon Launcher Toy using Autodesk Fusion 360 (left). Employing Boyle’s Law and the Law of Conservation of Energy, the tank's dimensions and barrel length were precisely optimized for shooting water balloons over 200 meters. A Schrader valve facilitates swift air inflation using a standard bike pump, ensuring effortless operation for young users. The design was translated into a functional prototype (right).

Automatic Subway Maker

Developed 3D models of a specialized compartment system designed to house toppings for a robot-powered Subway Maker using SolidWorks (left). Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the components underwent a rigorous fatigue analysis to ensure durability and longevity in the face of repetitive use (middle). The components were 3D-printed and integrated into the larger assembly (right) after validation. The entire system, including the robot's functionality, was coded in C, for a fully systemized Subway Maker.

Robot Controller Holder

Designed a Reactor Tooling Robot Pendant Holder (left) in Siemens NX to securely hold a pendant/controller, which controls a 7-axis robot. The holder was specifically designed to withstand radiation by using PETG. The model was 3D printed to ensure precision and durability in a nuclear environment. The final design performed excellently, meeting all functional and environmental requirements.

Pull-up Bar Recreation

Crafted a detailed 3D model of a Pull-up Bar in Autodesk Inventor (left), drawing inspiration from a real-life reference to ensure authenticity (right). Taking precise measurements from the reference, each dimension was meticulously replicated, with thoughtful adjustments made to enhance functionality and aesthetics.

Wall-Mounted Hat Holder

Conceptualized a Wall-Mounted Hat Holder, carefully considering materials for optimal durability and aesthetics. Following a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis, Pine was selected for the wooden board, while Brass hooks were mounted using AISI 1020 Steel M4 Screws. The individual components were seamlessly integrated into an Autodesk Fusion 360 Assembly. This project was conceived as a versatile solution for organizing hats in any room, featuring a unique cut-out at the back for easy wall attachment.

Spur Gear Keychain

Fabricated a Key Chain in SolidWorks, carefully selecting materials for each component: 2024 Alloy Aluminum for the main parts, AISI Type 316L Stainless Steel for the Key Ring, Acrylic for the Spur Gear, and AISI 1020 Steel for the Screws. The components were assembled in SolidWorks (left), and then manufactured using a lathe and 3-axis milling machine (right). Internal threading was created with a tap.

Personalized Cane

Crafted a personalized cane for my grandmother using SolidWorks, meticulously tailoring the design to her specific needs and comfort preferences. By taking precise measurements of her hand size, height, and preferred grip, the design prioritized optimal ergonomics. Utilizing 1010 Cold Rolled Steel for the middle assemblies ensured robustness and longevity, while vulcanized rubber was chosen for the stub and cherry wood for the handle, blending durability with aesthetic appeal. This project exemplifies a heartfelt endeavour to enhance mobility and comfort for a loved one through thoughtful engineering and design.

Tactical Knife and Shuriken

Made a Tactical Knife and Japanese Shuriken in Autodesk Fusion 360. For the tactical knife, the handle is made out of Oak and the blade is made of a Titanium-Manganese Annealed Alloy. This design was for a personal project and both parts were joined together in a Fusion 360 Assembly.

A grip was made out of Beech and the blade is made out of Molybdenum. This design was for a personal project and both parts were joined together in a Fusion 360 Assembly.

M6 and M8 Chassis Inserts

Designed M6 and M8 threaded inserts for the Chassis of the 2023 Waterloo Formula Electric Competition Car in Autodesk Inventor (left). Machined them using a lathe and belt sander while ensuring proper deburring (right).
