We liked giraffes. We chose this because it ha a long neck and will cross the finish line first. We even put Jeffrey, our giraffe on a skateboard so he will go faster.
Team 26: Jeffrey the Giraffe
 Concept SketchThe concept sketch is provided by the Broughal “customers” and is the basis for the vehicle design. After some discussion and possible modification, the concept will be rendered as a CAD model by the Lehigh team members. |  Vehicle GeometrySolidWorks CAD rendering of the vehicle concept. The CAD geometry will be used to create the cavities in the injection mold plate inserts. Wheels and a color scheme have been added for show. |  Coming SoonPrototype |

 Mold DesignSolidWorks rendering of the mold inserts. The mold geometry includes the cavities for the vehicle plus the runners and gates which allow the polymer melt to flow into the cavity during molding. The larger holes in the corners of the molds will be used to secure the inserts to the mold base. The mold geometry is ready to be imported into the NX CAM software to create a set of toolpath instructions for machining. |
