Ammunition fabrication for Nellis Air Force Base | August 2020 - September 2021
We were reached out by the Air Force to fabricate a total of eight 1:1 scale ammunition. The body frame was built with plywood and steel spine to increase structural strength, the outer shell was mostly 3D printed panels we then glue onto the body. We had to build a spray booth and automobile spray equipment for the paint job.
Vegas Fighting Covid | April 2020 - July 2020
VegasFightingCovid was formed in an effort to support our local medical community in a time when personal protection equipment(PPE) was difficult to come by. It started with just a few of us and quickly grew into a team of dozens of printers, volunteers, and local businesses, all working together to manufacture face shields and other PPE's to donate. The youtube channel SmarterEveryDay was a big inspiration and provided useful tools and resources for us to utilize.
Through this effort, the group donated 1734 face shields and over 4000 ear savers to 51 medical facilities.
Golden Knight Helmet | July 2018
In the debut year of the Golden Knights hockey team in Las Vegas, the team fought all the way to the semi-finals and had a real chance for the championship, the whole town was electrified and wanted to show support however we can. We got the opportunity to build a Golden Knights helmet during the finals. The project had 1 week turnaround time and we get 1 chance to make it perfect. So we started with a few small versions to work out all the potential issues. The helmet was made out of foam and wrapped in vinyl and then installed onto the Cesars statue in front of the casino.
Nevada State Museum Donation Box | February 2018
The engineering department at UNLV reached out to us to find a solution for a 3D-printed ichthyosaur fossil-scaled model for the Nevada State Museum. When we find out it was a donation we happily jumped on board. The project took 3 months from start to finish, over 250+ hours to print all the parts, and 200+ hours for pose processing. Parts are made out of PLA plastic and photopolymer(resin).
