A custom pneumatic system deploys and hides a set of Wolverine claws, modeled after the Deadpool & Wolverine movie.

The build

01

Custom pneumatics

I designed and manufactured the custom pneumatic system that deploys the arm-mounted blades and retracts them again.

02

Made in the machine shop

I used machine-shop skills to manufacture and assemble the custom manifolds, the blades and the rest of the parts.

03

Presented to the CEO

I designed and built the first prototype within one week, then presented it to the CEO of Hacksmith Industries.
