“3-Axis Cable Controller”, Based on Stan Winston School’s cable controller course. Created with Autodesk Inventor 2020.
The same 3-axis controller using the power of Autodesk 360 generative design features.
This controller has all of the features of the previous controller at 56% reduced weight. This project is still in concept stages.
“3-Axis Generative Controller Concept.”, Front and 3/4s front view.
“Poly-Carbonate Farrier’s Step Stool”, While working on my generative certification for weight reduction, I had spoken to a friend about how hard it was for her as a farrier and short person to take care of horses without a specific step stool. This is the concept is the result of her specifications.
“Orion’s Belt”, Generative designed lamp and shades, with wiring proof. Created with Autodesk Fusion 360.
“Monkey Enrichment Device Concept”, designed for Macaque monkeys at the Indianapolis Zoo. Designed to be 3-d printed in parts made of ABS and flexible filament, and to be assembled by end-users with minimal off the shelf hardware.
Flexible filaments provide the retaining ability to hold the “fruit simulation device” to the ring feeder which is hung with a standard carabiner-clip. Stock neodymium magnet assemblies and a small washer inserted into the top of each feeder ball provide simulated resistance to the monkeys attempting to retrieve the fruit emulate naturally growing plants.
Each ball is filled with a small amount of 3-d printed shapes and food. This causes the monkeys to further problem solve and stimulate their natural foraging behaviors.
“Generative Monkey Bar Concept”, Designed for Macaque monkey enrichment at the Indianapolis zoo. This concept is a proof for further designs involving the previous feeder ball concept and generative climbing features to mimic the monkeys natural arboreal foraging habitat.
