Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process, done safely masked and outside.

3D printing

Our parts were 3D printed.



Printed parts

The parts were printed using an infill density of 10%.



Purchased parts of acrylic, L-brackets

We ordered additional parts including acrylic, L-brackets, and friction pads online.



Process 1

We started with our 3D printed parts, drilling holes for the fixtures.



Process 2

We started putting together the 3D printed parts.



Process 3

We used L-brackets to put together the outer casing in order to make disassembly easy so that we could access the inside if necessary during the testing process. We realized that the L-brackets are very large in comparison to the overall casing, which was difficult to work around.



Process 4

The front and back acrylic panels are installed.



Process 5

The lever and arms are inserted.
