Air Engine Fabrication

For a Mechanical Design class project, the goal was to demonstrate skills in producing technical GD&T drawings, then interpreting them and using traditional machine shop tools to realize the design. The air engine must be capable of continuous operation under a 15psi input pressure.

Processes Used:

  • Hand tools/machine shop
  • 4axis CNC machining
  • Laser Cutting
  • CNC routing + Casting
  • Composite layup (carbon fiber)
  • Injection Molding
