SDS is a revolutionary first of its kind to be attempted method of transport; a self-balancing motorcycle which rides on spheres. As a member of the mechanical design team I’ve worked on the bike from the ground up. Conceptual design, CAD iteration, prototype design and final manufacturing. A complex project such as the SDS motorcycle requires many sub-assemblies which encompass many disciplines of engineering. The interdisciplinary nature of the project lead to much collaboration between EE and COMPE teams on a regular basis as is typical of lot of projects in industry.The entire project budget has come from donations and sponsorship acquired exclusively by the student team.Experience:CAD design with Sheetmetal, Solid, and WeldmentsComposites (mold making, layup, and fabrication) Manufacturing (worked closely with outside DFM teams during design)Some TIG welding
