Manufacturing:
I was exposed to the complete design and manufacturing process on this project. I would model a part in Pro/Engineer, machine the mold used to make that part, and then shoot the final part on one of the company's injection molding machines. Here are some photos showing the production of the internal lens housing focus ring. This part required me to fabricate a somewhat complicated ejector pin mold.
