This is just a collection of some of the fun projects that I’ve worked on. Most of them were made on a Laser Cutter or 3D printer.
Everything is better with music
LeapMotion: Project Northstar
What’s cool about this?
- It’s an Augmented Reality headset
- Although I didn’t design the parts, I had to figure out how to manufacture them (cost effectively)
- The transparent lenses for the display were 3D printed using clear resin on an SLA (Stereolithography) printer
- I was able to manufacture the entire headset at about 1/10 of the original estimate given by LeapMotion
Delve Labs: Strep Detector
What’s cool about this?
- An early prototype for a strep detection device
- A wonderful lesson in tolerances
- My first CAD project
Laser Cutting
Wooden samurai costume made with living hinges 
Foldable living hinge wooden padfolio 
Laser cut acrylic spear
What’s cool about this?
- Living hinges on wood allow for some amazing flexibility
- Laser cutter projects are highly customizable and very quick to make
- Mixing media can lead to some cool results (like the spear)
