The laptop theft prevention stand was a project I did as an open ended project class at UCSD, where groups of 3 students worked on a project to solve a problem. My group chose to solve laptops being stolen when students get up at the library but leave their belongings where they were sitting to hold their seat. 

In my group, I was responsible for all CAD modeling and assembly of the final project. Using OnShape, I modeled a multi part laptop stand. Then, I created an assembly to verify all of the components fit together and left sufficient space to house the electronics. I followed up by 3D printing all of the parts, wiring the electronics, and attaching them onto the laptop stand. 

The Laptop Stand also has an integrated locking system to prevent it from being easily detached from the laptop.

In the lower picture to the left, the laptop is being held vertically and is being held in by only the locking mechanism.

In the picture below, the final product is showcased. From the front and back, the electronics are almost all hidden. At least, hidden enough that a thief in a rush would miss them.
