We based our Yo-yo design off a casino Roulette table.
Aluminum molds were machined using a CNC Lathe and Mill. These were previously designed using CAD and CAM.
My partner and I were in charge of making the top insert of the roulette table. Using an injection molding machine, we produced more than 100 parts.
Our piece (red) had to fit perfectly with the black base in order to create the "roulette table dividing walls".

[Teams of 7] The challenge was to design and manufacture more than 50 copies of a creative Yo-yo. We used CAD and CAM to then machine aluminum molds using a CNC Lathe and Mill. The parts were then produced using Thermoforming and Injection Molding methods.
