As a project at GTMI I designed a custom fixture for promotional acrylic pieces our team was making. Due to the fragile nature of the parts, a vacuum fixture allowed us to easily secure the part during CNC engraving. The fixture features small holes under the part that feed into a common open volume that can be hooked up to a vacuum pump. The fixture was printed via a Stratasys PolyJet 3D Printer and contained a built in, custom profile o-ring. The printer allows for different materials to be printed together - including the hard plastic of the fixture, and the flexible o-ring. 

In 9th grade, I aimed to develop a faster 1/20th scale F1 car for the F1 in Schools 2014 World Finals. My previous year in the competition I designed over 100 cars in Solidworks to design a car that earned us 2nd place in the World. For my second World Finals, I aimed to improve on this by utilizing new modeling techniques. I taught myself surface modeling with which I created the main body and side pods for our World Finals car. The design ended up having a dip down in the center of the model and required our team to develop new manufacturing techniques as well in order to create this unique design.
