Objective/Technical Details

Design a Laptop stand that has a minimum of four bars, which consists of three links and one slider. Using kinematic, force, and stress analysis. Creating a CAD design using SolidWorks to help with the analysis and for prototyping the laptop stand

‍

Results/Outcomes

A simple wooden laptop stand was build in SolidWorks. The force and stress calculation was done on the laptop stand in SolidWorks and using traditional methods for comparison. SolidWorks compared to traditional methods, showed around a 2% difference in force and stress. Using wood made the laptop stand heavy and not practical for easy use
