Thermoplastic injection molder

RIT senior project: led a team designing and building an injection molder to upcycle 3D-printing waste into new parts.

  • Machine design
  • FEA
  • Thermal
  • Team lead

Built for RIT SHED, the senior project was a thermoplastic injection molder to upcycle 3D-printing waste.

As project lead I ran the timeline, assigned tasks, handled external communication, and wrote weekly reports. On the engineering side I performed the FEA and thermal analyses.
