Summary
Designed a compact, deployable bridge that could be lowered from one side and locked rigidly once seated.
My role focused on the locking and stopper mechanisms, 3D CAD modeling, and CNC programing and manufacturing of the key components.
Fully deployed bridge spanning a 36-inch gap. Designed to support at least 15 lb while weighing only 3.8 lb, with a total material cost of $29.60.
The bridge is positioned in the slot on the 3D-printed baseplate and fully extended before locking.
A sliding lock (sheet metal in final design) is inserted to connect and support both sides of the bridge.
A stopper secures the sliding lock and prevents it from shifting during use.
Strings (shown in red and orange) are used to carefully lower the bridge into place.
Early prototype render showing the bridge fully deployed and seated across the gap.
