CNC Manufacturing TA

In college, my job durring school was to TA for the CNC manifacturing and prototyping course. I served as a lab monitor for the Washburn Prototyping Shops, and I taught the labs for the Intro To Prototyping class. 

Below are the list of equipment I used frequently within this lab:

• Haas CNC milling machines (3 axis and 5 axis)
• CNC lathe (3 axis and 6 axis)
• Manual machinery, mills, lathes, sheers, welders, etc
• Laser cutters
• 3D Printers (FDM, SLA Carbon composite)

Takeaway:

This experience gave me a really good understanding of how to design for manufactuability. I wouldn't realize how rare of a skill this was until i started working at companies where i was getting my parts manufactured at a fraction of the cost of my co-workers. 

Here are some of the things I built:
