During my time at Sienci Labs I worked as a product designer under the LaserBeam Team. I owned the design of a prototype for Sienci's LaserBeam Magnetic Mount. I also assisted with the development of Sienci's CO2 laser prototype, specifically helping with the fabrication of enclosure panels and the wiring of power supplies, sensors, and motors. I was also key in producing documentation for the product's safety certification. Furthermore, I produced several resource and product pages for LaserBeam accessories, and produced a detailed 57 page SOP for the LaserBeam system, which details in-depth, step-by-step troubleshooting instructions customers can use to solve potential issues that may occur with their product overtime.

These photos showcase the C02 Laser prototype. I was responsible for several of the connections between the Laser Power Supply , 24V general power supply, HT-30 Water Flow Sensor and the Rudia RDC644G/S Laser Controller . I spliced wires through soldering to achieve desired cable lengths, and used heat guns to shrink tubing around soldered areas. I also fed the wiring through braided sleeves to clean up the appearance and simplify organization. Additionally, I used the company's LongMill MK2 CNC mill to fabricate the two top panels of the build's enclosure out of MDF. I also contributed to general mechanical assembly by modifying existing parts during the prototyping process.

I worked on several documents over my time with Sienci as well. I produced detailed resources, assembly guides, and product pages for LaserBeam accessory products such as the Vortex Riser Mount and the Magnetic Mount I designed. I produced documentation that was pivotal in the safety certification and validation process for the CO2 Laser, and also produced a 57 page SOP for the LaserBeam system. This SOP summarizes potential issues that could occur with a customer's LaserBeam system and details methods of troubleshooting that can be performed to regain proper functioning. The goal of this SOP was to reduce customer tickets significantly and to serve as a comprehensive guide to troubleshooting for any future LaserBeam Team members.

LASER BEAM MAGNETIC MOUNT

Photo showcasing the several prototypes I developed during the design process

The magnetic mount was designed for more efficient LaserBeam diode attachment. It was estimated to increase sales by 10%, raking in an estimated $1500 a month in revenue for the LaserBeam Team.

The design's geometry allows for attachment with all 3 different Sienci LaserBeam mounting plates and ensures no interference with surrounding parts. The product was designed with DFMA principles in mind, thus is easy to assemble, and cheap and efficient to manufacture.

The mount's magnetic strength is perfectly balanced, ensuring safety in conjunction with low effort detachment, while still guarenteeing precise laser engraving at high speeds.
