Team 21 - Manufacturing and Assembly

The helmet itself took about 12 pieces of 3D printed material, with individual pieces ranging from 8-15 hours of print time, the assembly of the helmet was done using hot glue adhesive, bolts, pins, and fasteners. The bevel gears were also 3D printed as single pieces, and the gear train was connected using premade 6mm shafts. The linkages for our four were made using laser-cut plastic, which was then joined using bolts and nuts, and plastic fasteners. In general, all moving parts of the assembly were manufactured by us, either laser cut or 3D printed, and fasteners/bolts/screws/bearings were acquired from TIW
