Reverse Engineering a Transmission Tunnel: After hand fabricating a transmission tunnel for the 1923 T-bucket, it was reverse engineered to produce one with an improved shape and to be able to mass produce small quantities. The model was scanned using a handheld scanner reading 26000 points per second. The point cloud was used to develop a CAD solid model to be used as the math model for CNC machining the styrofoam pattern. The machined pattern was used to layup the fiberglass mold.

I enjoy working with electronics, and i am going to Wentworth for electronic engineering in September, but i would like to work on cracking the ps3, and i was wondering if reverse engineering was part of the curriculum or if i would just gain the knowledge needed then figure the rest out, or whats up?

The RP machine is printing the savonius type blades for wind tunnel testing.| Check out my project website for more information antipasto.union.edu

I need 630 bucks so I can make a Mendel (3d printer)

but its impossible to get any employment in this college town, I work on engineering / CS all day. I probably wont get any answers that help, but hey maybe someone has an awesome idea. I ‘can’ do PC repair work, but that a bit spotty and a lot of liability if I do it with out contracts.

ps I don’t plan on selling body fluids just yet.. I get 800 a month to buy food, gas, live off of.
