Laser Box

About

Challenged to make a laser box inspired by my favorite place in the world, I chose to capture the essence of Minnehaha Falls, located just a short drive from my childhood house in Minnesota. Amazing any time of the year, the falls are the source of some of my most vivid memories.
As part of my Mechanical Prototyping class, a fuller report can be found here.

Skills

  • Illustrator - Decomposed images into vector traces then applied in Solidworks
  • Solidworks - Used to design the box, consider tolerances, and create renders
  • Laser Cutter - Used to cut the provided 1/4" hardboard for the project
