•

Precision Cutter with Digital Measuring System

ROBBOX Precision Cutter is a lightweight and mobile cutter/saw sporting a 10" by 10" machined aluminum rotating base and a 5" cutting disc, designed and engineered to make precise cuts with materials such as wood and metal. ROBBOX Precision Cutter uses a built-in digital calipers to measure materials before each cut.

Sketch explorations

Components breakdown, basic architecture, assembly methods, and rotating base locking mechanism.

Sketching over CAD

Exploring different ideas rapidly over blocked out CAD file imported from Solidworks to ProCreate App.

An early version of CMF created for communication purposes before creating computer renderings.

Trigger and Speed Control

Exploring different ideas for speed control and trigger

Internal Structure

Creating internal structure to hold components and add strength to 3D printed prototype. Part internal ribs create a channel for the wires to be secured.

Evolution of Handle Design

Changing the architecture of handle to improve ergonomics and visual aesthetics.

Exploring options on micro-texture pattern for the palm rest area.

Early Vision Images

Preliminary CAD renderings created to asses design direction.

Exploring options on the back arm, creating the proper interaction between plastic housing and torsion spring.

Evolution of Clamping Mechanism

It started as a simple torque turn to tighten system to hold the clamp in place, but due to vibration the clamp changed to be a half-nut clamp with release mechanism for quick adjustment.
