Automated Composite Layup System

This device was desgined, built, and tested during my internship at Applied Thin Films Inc. during the my time working there from July 2021 until September 2022. Unfortunately, since some of this work is proprietary, I cannot show or give any more details than are provided here.

This project allowed me to utilize my skills and aquire new ones relating to designing systems that feature mechanical and electrical components functioning together. In addition to the physical elements of this machine, I wrote a G-code generator and simulator in Python to create patterns for the device to execute.
