Makerspace Improvements
Improved efficiency and organization across the Auburn Engineering Makerspace by redesigning key systems for organization, labeling, and workflow automation.
Receipt Printer
I replaced a manual, error-prone process of logging 3D prints with an automated system by integrating a receipt printer into our existing workflow.
Instead of writing down part information by hand, the system now generates a clear, consistent printed label, making the process faster and more reliable.
This change removed a daily frustration point and allowed our team to focus on the important parts of 3D printing, such as slicing and managing printers.
Cabinet Signage
I redesigned cabinet labeling by laser cutting high-contrast acrylic signs for better readability across the space.
Rather than engraving, I layered cut pieces to improve clarity and reduce manufacturing time while maintaining a clean look.
These signs made it easier for users to quickly find materials and understand the organization of the space.
I also designed a custom filament storage system that replaces a cluttered cabinet with open, visible shelving. This allows team members to quickly see available materials and grab what they need without digging through stacked spools.
Across these improvements, my focus was creating systems that are simple, efficient, and make the space easier to use for everyone.
