ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome to my personal website! My name is Clark Garrison and I and a senior at Texas A&M University (College Station) studying Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MMET). I have an interest in sustainable transportation and CNC manufacturing. My ideal job would be designing and prototyping for an electric car company. I have experience modeling in Fusion 360, PTC Creo Parametric, and SolidWorks.

PROJECTS

Here are some of my recent personal projects.

Finite Element Analysis using Autodesk Fusion360.

In this personal project I modeled and simulated a static load for a steel six by six inch L bracket with a 600 lb load force applied facing downward.

Annimated meshed gears.

These meshed gears were created from scratch after learning about gear trains in my Machine Elements in Mechanical Design (MMET 463) course. The modeling, simulation, and rendering were carried out in Fusion360.

Aluminum Beverage Can Crusher using pin hinges.

During quarantine, I decided to make a make an aluminum beverage can crusher in order to reduce the volume of recyclables in our bin. I came up with a couple of designs using scrap wood and 3D modeled and animated them.
