M1.04 - Penny Press
Redesign the Makerspace penny press machine.
Sponsor: Hunt & Hunt and Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Claire O'Brien, Jacob Hugonin, Baxter Moore, Cole Lindbeck
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Mohammad Shahin
The Penny Press Project was first developed by partnership between Hunt & Hunt Ltd and former students at Texas State University in 2019. The original objective was to develop a multi-mechanism device to press and dispense a commemorative coin from a standard US penny. Today the penny press has been decommissioned and has multiple opportunities for improvements that need to be addressed to make the mechanisms more robust and withstand use over time. The new objective is to redesign and manufacture the original penny press that incorporates aspects of the old design but addresses the complications it has encountered while making the addition of a counting device that tracks the number of pennies that pass through the press.
