Mechanical Engineering & Additive Manufacturing
Designing and building machines, mechanisms, and manufacturing systems.
Hi, I'm Ben Horwitz, a mechanical engineer and mathematics student at Middlebury College. My work sits at the intersection of mechanical design, manufacturing, and additive manufacturing, with experience spanning machine design, controls, CNC machining, and experimental prototyping.
I've worked on projects ranging from a high-viscosity SLA 3D printer to custom-machined hardware, assistive devices, and additively manufactured chemical-processing equipment.
A custom stereolithography system for high-viscosity photopolymers.
A 303 stainless steel blade putter designed and machined on a 4th-axis CNC mill.
10 quick-release lid assemblies designed and manufactured to reduce Harperizer changeover time.
A mechanical assistive device that loads a golf ball and tees it without requiring the user to bend.
A pendulum-regulated escapement, iterated into a fully milled aluminum miniature clock.
A PPS-printed reaction vessel designed to automate small-scale organic chemistry reactions.
