Machining
I used my school's Tormach 770 CNC mill to make these projects. I did an independent study to create lessons and tutorials for the mill which are now used in my school's technical arts curriculum. I also helped design and test a prototype satellite thruster during my internship at a satellite manufacturer. The materials I used were aluminum, brass, Delrin, and copper alloy.
Sculpture (Machined aluminium and 3D printed brass)
Interlocking organic surfaces
These wave patterns were generated in Grasshopper with parametric equations
Turning cube (A cube that appears to have other cubes impossibly nestled inside of it)
Three precision-machined aluminum cubes. Dimensional tolerance of 4 thou.
Prototype satellite thruster (Copper alloy)
UFO Lamp
This lamp was created using just one 12”x12” sheet of steel and some acrylic. It consists of 20 folding panels that are bolted onto a single metal ring. Inside, there is a battery, a circuit board, and an array of LED lights that make the acrylic dome glow green when the lamp is switched on.
