Project Overview

For this project, we were tasked with designing an injection-molded object.
As a group, we designed a T-Rex keychain with movable arms and legs.

The project involved:

  • 3D CAD modeling of the T-Rex
  • Injection molding simulation to analyze feasibility
  • CAM programming for milling the mold

Since we were allowed to mill only one half of the mold, we innovatively decided to attach two body halves together to form a fully 3D T-Rex.
