Desk Design
For a first year design project we were set to come up with a redesign of one of the Carleton lecture hall desks (Minto 2000). I teamed up with a few other engineering students to create a design which would be able to attached to the current desks and improve the effectiveness for students. This included multiple brainstorming sessions, iterations of the design, and creating the final design in AutoCAD ensuring all pieces were properly sized and fit together.
Goal
The goal of this project was to come up with a better alternative to the Minto 2000 lecture hall desks at Carleton University and design it in Fusion 360. The design had to be compatible with the current chairs, only replacing the current desk or adding onto it. The desk also had to be easily movable or removable to ensure fire safety.
Challenges
My Role
My main role aside from general brainstorming and designing was creating the final model in Fusion 360. I created all components ensuring proper dimensions and allowances for any connections so that the model could be assembled for the final design.
