Siege

What:

• Designed and fabricated a functional siege machine as part of a collaborative engineering project.

• Adhered to strict design and performance constraints, including fitting the machine within a 12-inch cube.

How:

• Created detailed CAD models using SolidWorks, incorporating laser-cut components and 3D-printed parts for precision and manufacturability.

• Integrated multiple joint types, including press-fit joints, lap joints, and T-slot joints, to ensure versatility and structural integrity.

• Conducted extensive prototyping and iterative testing to optimize the machine's performance while emphasizing safety and innovation.

• Focused on design principles such as manufacturability, assembly precision, and compliance with safety standards.

Results:

• Delivered a fully functional siege machine that met all performance constraints and fit within the 12-inch cube requirement.

• Demonstrated innovation through the integration of advanced fabrication techniques, including 3D printing and laser cutting.

Showcased proficiency in mechanical design, teamwork, and problem-solving under defined constraints, resulting in a creative and manufacturable solution.
