Mechanical Designer at GoPro.
Designed unique production solutions and camera rigs to assist in the capture of GoPro content. Daily use and experimentation with Solidworks, SLS and Stereolithographic 3D printing, CNC machining, and Injection Molded part design.
August - December, 2016
Above are various mounts and cases designed for individual productions. This includes a system to record bomb-sniffing rats, a mount for a live 360 degree camera array, and a dual Hero 5 mount for wingsuiters, among other projects. Items were 3D printed on SLS and Stereolithographic machines.
Below shows the lens cap designed for the Hero 5 camera. The Hero 5 does not ship with a conventional lens cap, as the lens itself has a sapphire glass filter that protects it from most scratches. However, due to the harshness of some in-house GoPro video shoots, it became necessary to create a more typical lens cap. I designed the item itself and worked with injection molders to bring 10,000 of them to life.
In a final project for GoPro, I designed an aluminum lid for a waterproof array case. The lid featured unique threads that our typical prototyping machine shop was unable to machine, and as such, I machined the lid myself on a Tormach 1100 CNC. The threads were cut using a single flute threadmill.
