Mass-Optimized Scissor Lift
For ME104, I worked in a team to create a mass-optimized and efficient scissor lift. We conducted a variety of calculations to ensure our design was as optimized as possible. I enjoyed using my additive manufacturing knowledge to create hollow beams without internal supports. In the end, our design successfully raised 15 lbs 6 inches in 5 seconds.
