As we get closer and closer to our Final Design Review, we’re also nearing the end of the semester, graduation (for some team members)… and most importantly, our installation date! With no time to lose, members of our team have been hard at work assembling and manufacturing the parts for our final assembly. The design work has long since finished, and assembly is the home stretch!

Three of our team members are in the mechanical engineering program at UF, which means they’re already certified to work in the Design and Manufacturing Laboratory (and other safety-critical manufacturing facilities on campus). Our durability-focused design calls for a lot of interesting manufacturing techniques: not just drill presses and band saws, but also lathes, waterjet, CNC milling, and more!
