Inside the project / CONCEPT · PROCESS · TEAM
CONTEXT
Repetitive lifting and overhead work place demands on industrial workers’ backs and shoulders. We explored a wearable mechanical support concept for this problem.
PROCESS
We developed part models and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS, balancing design constraints and collaboration within the hackathon deadline.
OUTCOME
Our team secured 3rd place at Grab the CAD. The exoskeleton remains a design concept; reduced strain and improved ergonomics are design goals.

Curiosity is
part of the process.
I’m a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate at VIT Chennai. I’m developing my practice through CAD, team projects and hands-on design challenges.
My interests span product design, manufacturing, automotive and mechanical R&D. I’m looking for an internship where I can contribute to real engineering projects and learn from the people building them.
