A fun recent project we have done is to create a miniature Mass Spectrometer.
(A Mass Spectrometer is a rather large device that separates isotopes, molecules, and molecular fragments according to mass)
This client wanted to create a miniature Mass Spectrometer as a retirement gift for a friend who worked as a scientist for many years.
Here is a picture of the actual Mass Spectrometer.
API 4000 Mass Spectrometer
From this picture, I designed the miniature Mass Spectrometer in CAD for 3D printing. I included the various parts of the device (main body in white, rod in green, attachment in blue) and also created a base with the guy’s name on it (blurred out for privacy)

Once the CAD was completed, I 3D printed out the parts and painted it for a nice final appearance.
