erGO!

This was my sophomore year product and experimental design project, where I worked in a group of 3 to bring this product from conception to final prototype. I played a large role in keeping us organized and on track with our gantt chart, as well as building our two prototypes. I did the bulk of the woodworking and assembly of the chairs, implementing information from our CAD models.

We performed FEA analysis to see how our design would support a person, and we tweaked the design from there. I used a bandsaw, sanders, and a drill press to build the parts, and I assembled it using a power driver and screws. Some of our parts were 3D printed, requiring rapid prototyping and testing of each specific part until it worked. I would install and test each prototyped part, providing feedback to my partner, who would then redesign and reprint the part.
