Fall ‘24 Co-op

Insights

At hh-global, I was tasked with assisting structural designers with creating, testing, and verifying structures. I also assisted with printing, cutting, building, and ship testing packages as well as modeling and rendering for client approval.
The main software used was ArtiosCAD, a specialty software for using corrugated materials in packaging and Point-of-Purchase Displays. The use of Adobe Illustrator as well as Autodesk 3DsMax was integral in building graphics and applying them for high-quality renderings.
Corrugated materials are the bread and butter of designing at hh global. These range in fluting, which is determined by testing and what products need to be displayed. The heavier the product, the more robust the flute. I worked with materials ranging from E flute to BC flute.
With these materials, I would print and cut out designs that had been created, using a Roland UV Printer, as well as a ZUND Cutting Table.

Air Compressor - Sound Suppressor -

Inside the working area, there is a very loud air compressor, I was tasked with creating a suppression system to attempt to deafen the sound that was created when it ran. The current solution, materials piled around the compressor, was an eyesore, so something that is also appealing when clients walk through the back area would create a better environment and be less distracting.

The air compressor sits in a walled area with an open front and top.
The dimensions between the walls -
30” × 31” x 153”
L x W x H
The panels are a consistent design, where there are 4 wall panels and 6+ baffles.
The design for the baffles is consistent where they can be flipped to create 4 alternate layouts.
This experiment was a success, it reduced the sound intensity and hid the air compressor from view.
