Sheet Metal Project

• High school senior design project

• Sponsored by Prismier

• Mentored by NNHS physics teacher and robotics coach Mark Rowzee

• Designed and fabricated aluminum sheet metal robot chassis.

• Researched sheet metal design practices in FIRST robotics

  • Downloaded, reviewed, and revised successful FRC teams' past robots with open-sourced CAD.

  • Attended IMTS to learn more about manufacturing and acquired corporate sponsorship from Prismier

    • Researched the methods of sheet metal cutting using a waterjet, stamping, CO2 laser

    • Researched the methods of sheet metal bending using hand powered brake presses and hydraulic presses

• Designed my own robot chassis using Autodesk Inventor's sheet metal software

• Collaborated with Prismier to convert parts to workable files and fabricate pieces

• Rivetted/Assembled final recieved parts together
