Composites Work

My goal was to take a backpack style torso from 4 inches thick down to just 1/2 inch. To do this, I developed and printed out a torso that was then wrapped in carbon fiber for strength. The new design also implemented a quick release shoulder pin. This allowed the user to quickly mount and dismount the arm. Here are some photos of the process of prototyping that torso.

The final system ended up looking like this.

Currenltly I'm working at Saildrone, Inc. Unfortunately I cannot share any images of the composites work from that company. I can say that I have spent a good amount of time working with the composites team to make better molds, drawings, and processes to produce cleaner, stronger, easier to make parts and assemblies.
