Spring 2013 Contributions

I was a member of the Small Scale Plant Model team. We planned to build a model of a water filtration plant that will be built to scale within the dimensions of a carry-on suitcase and will be used for educating others and encouraging donations to the AguaClara team. This semester, I used the software Rhinoceros to lay out individual plant pieces in order to have templates ready for laser cutting the pieces, saved these pieces in usable AutoCAD drawing files, and researched laser cutting, Plexiglas, and other materials for building the final model. I also worked on the construction of the mock-up model, which has been partially completed.
