Precision Stage Design

Equipment Design for Dry Electrode Cell Manufacturing

Continuation of Dynamic Powder Splitting System R&D for directed energy deposition (DED) AM process in collaboration with DMG Mori.

- Research focus: Design for dynamic powder flow control for directed energy deposition (DED) for the DMG MORI Lasertec 65 3D. - Collaborative research on origami sheet metal bending techniques with UC Merced - Laboratory Safety Coordinator- 3-Axis Milling CNC Machine Trainer

Various projects include: • Using 3D printers, their respective controllers, and slicing software to create working fixture and adapter prototypes for a variety of uses. • Developed methodology for 3D modeling graphite flakes in cast iron using an experimental cast iron sample.• Learning how to operate 3-axis CNC machining centers to machine various metal parts alongside CAD and CAM software.• Testing multiple CNC machine tool emulators for educational use and value, including Immerse2Learn's virtual CNC machine for the Haas VF-3 vertical machining center and DMG MORI's MfgSuite v2.0 for NC simulations.

Testing of the Dynamic Powder Splitting System (from graduate research in the ARMS Lab) for potential usage within DMG Mori Directed Energy Deposition (DED) capable CNC Machines.

Overview: Designed an experimental method to determine the performance differences between Curexo Technology Corporation's ROBODOC and THINK Surgical's TSolution One through dimensional accuracy tests and analyses. • Worked with SolidWorks and Siemens NX for 3D modeling and toolpath generation of various shapes comparable to those milled in hip implant cavities. • Measured test cut cavities for dimensional accuracy; analyzed data using various statistical methods.

• Worked with a Point of Sale (POS) system as a cashier and managed inventory. • Communicated with both local and foreign customers in a constantly populated tourist setting.
