Deflection-Limited Crane

minimum-mass crane design constrained by tip deflection

Designed and fabricated a minimum-mass cantilever crane constrained to less than 2 mm tip deflection under a specified load. Iterated through FEA-guided topology optimization before machining the final aluminum structure.
