I was never able to CNC route this because the times were really full and I didn’t want to take time away from people who were routing for their final project. What I wanted to make was a nest chair structure and I tried to design it so that it wouldn’t need glue to be held together.

For my 2.5 axis cnc project I designed and fabricated two custom projector holders. The following is a picture of the holder made with the laser printer for a laser projector.
The next two images depict the holder I made on the CNC to fit a DVD player and epson projector:

The material is not actually folded, just faceted. I can’t tell if the facets are identical to those of an actual origami design or not. The mathematical problem of joining several metal struts coming in at odd angles is one I know from welding; these joints must of been designed digitally, given how closely they fit.
Here is a relatively accurate model of electron clouds around a Mode (3s orbital) atomic structure. It is printed in ABS plastics.
Everyone likes waffles. So I made some waffles. These waffles act as the support structure to a fiberglass mold used to create a carbon fiber race car body panel. This model was created in SolidWorks to take advantage of its parametric capabilities. This project is part of the work being done by the Carnegie Mellon chapter of Society of Automotive Engineers: Carnegie Mellon Racing.
