these are the things that i have been working on. this is a new website so these are only my most recent projects. naturally, this will grow larger in the future. thanks for visiting!
-
precision laser powder bed fusion testbed
building a powder spreading testbed for various experiments into powder physics
-
instrument-related uncertainty analysis for custom laser focus measurement microscope
figuring out how trustable my microscopy measurements are
-
reverse engineering EOS laser scan file production
reverse engineering the proprietary job format an EOS M280 so I can generate my own laser scan paths
-
building an o2 sensor bypass device for an EOS M280
making a device to lie to my lab's metal 3d printer so that we can study the laser without meeting exact gas level thresholds
-
metrology frame and multi-axis dynamic error analysis for subatomic nano-positioning flexure stage
building a testbed for measuring how flexure stage carriages actually move in 6 DOF at high bandwidth
-
automated high throughput laser focus mapping system
building a custom microscope to map out laser focus in LPBF systems without the need for a beam profiler, much faster and quicker
-
diamond turning records by hand
using a voice coil to diamond turn some acrylic records for the 2025 ASPE student challenge. kinda gaming the rules a bit too.
-
subatomic nano positioning flexure stage
doing the mechatronics and controls for a flexure driven nano positioning stage
