3D-Printed Roller Coaster (Theme Park Engineering and Design Club)
(SolidWorks, 3D Printing, Structural Design)
Challenge:
Design and assemble a functional 3D-printed roller coaster model demonstrating real-world ride engineering principles, including lift mechanics, track design, and safety.
Solution:
-
Collaborated with a team to design the lift hill and structure using SolidWorks and 3D printing.
-
Redesigned and reinforced components from previous prototypes to improve stability.
-
Assisted in assembling lift and track systems, ensuring precision and alignment.
-
Contributed to brainstorming for next year’s launch coaster project.
-
Prototyped, modeled, and 3D printed parts for the launch system.
Impact:
Applied mechanical design principles to a creative, themed engineering project while gaining experience in prototyping, structural analysis, and teamwork. Strengthened interest in themed entertainment and ride system design.
