A selection of different 3D printed products I have made to fulfil different objectives. On the left is a series of Rheumatoid Arthritis Assisstive products one can wear on their forearm to reduce the stress felt upon their wrists when carrying or lifting heavy products or bags. On the right is a modified holder for a squash ball for a squash ball holder I designed and built that could launch a squash ball the length of a professional rugby pitch.
An image of a fully machined postcard/picture holder. The base and stem were machined using a Metal Lathe, pictured on the right, and the picture holder was machined using a Milling Machine, shown below.
Shown on the right are a series of inserts that were machined by hand using a Milling Machine for use on an injection mould tool which is shown below.
Here in a team of 4 we designed, machined, assembled, and produced an injection mould tool and a functioning injection moulded keychain with wall mounted holder, designed as a promotional product for the WWF. The mould tool was first modelled o SolidWorks and then using their built in software, CNC milling instructions were programmed as well. From this G-Code could be taken to a 3-axis CNC machine and the mould tool could be machined. The inserts from above were then placed and the whole mould tool was inserted into the injection mould machine to produce the keychain and holder shown below.
These are two metalwork sculptures, built from 12mm rectangular steel tubing. The steel tubing was then cut and either bent into place or just held before being welded together. When they were first built they were sand blasted and then power coated with a silver finish, however, years of weathering has worn away the protective layers of the finishings and given them a coat of rust.
This is a squash ball launcher that I built along with a friend, we wanted to make sure it could be unassembled easily. We cut the wooden supports from MDF using a laser cutter and assembled the rest of the structure from either custom built brackets or tubular steel. This launcher was successfully built and could launch a squash ball the entire length of a professional sized rugby pitch.
This is a clock that was manufactured using a wood lathe. A chequeboard layout of light and dark wood was placed and glued into a rectangle. That rectangle was then turned down into the streamline shape seen here. The wings were steamed, then bent around the main body of the clock, before being rivetted in place and being left to dry and cool and harden in place. A metal wall bracket was then laser cut and sand blasted to allow easy mounting to ones wall where this clock would be situated.
