Context: During the pandemic, one of my courses asked us to utilize rapid prototyping and
design for manufacturability to design usable products.

​

Solution: The Water Farm is a product designed to facilitate the process of regrowing herbs or plants in a hydroponic system through providing a single unit with a common water source for each plant. The
design allows the user to add, refill, and drain water for up to four plants at once. There are two iterations of The Water Farm: one designed to be machined in Stanford's Product Realization Lab (left), and the
second designed for production through scaled manufacturing (right). The former utilizes O-rings to ensure proper sealing given the use case environment, and is designed to be manufactured using the lathe and mill. The latter is designed to be manufactured using sand casting and welding.​
