1948 C-121 Lockheed Martin Constellation restoration project included a complete overhaul and modernization of the HVAC system (heating, cooling, fresh air). Contrive Design Innovations designed & manufactured critical & unique components via additive manufactung.

This unique project involved 3D scanning the internal airframe/wall structure and designing a multiple part ducting system that could be easily assembled/disassembled while maximizing the wall cavity area available for peak A/C system performance. To acheive these goals the entire ducting system was deisgned for additive manufacturing and produced on the Vision Miner 22IDEXv3 3D printer.

To promote proper cool air flow to the forward cabin, an additional 4" SCAT route was developed and hidden under the right side drink rail and couch. 4x 2" SCAT connections were then routed up through the wall cavity to the upper valnce ducting.

Unique 3D printed manifolds were design and manufactured via Solidworks CAD and the Vision Miner 22IDEXv3. Incorporated into the experimental aircrafts valance AC ducting path with adjustable upward facing vents at each section.

With a history in Formula SAE, I've always wanted to develop my own raocker arm suspension for a full size street/track car. So I took on the challenge and this is the result. The hatch/trunk area was scanned & measured, then reverse engineering to create the working area for the rocker arm suspension. The result is a optimized motion ratio and rocker arm angle design that minimizes progressive/digressive rates in the suspension and allows the use of cost effective but very effective 2-way dampers.

In the pursuit of All Wheel Drive converting my 2009 Mazdaspeed3, I incorporated an inboard rocker arm suspension design that gave me 100% flexibility in design and implementation. The rsult is a drag race focus suspension that performs beyond expectations.

In the pursuit of performance...when applying 1000+whp traction becomes a huge limiting factor. Orginally a Front Wheel Drive vehicle; I design, developed and implemented an AWD conversion of my 2009 Mazdaspeed 3.

Motorsport level performance in a nearly 100% bolt-on kit. Combining conventional subtractive and new age additive manuacturing to create the most complete and ready to use kit available for the Mazdaspeed 3.
