New Intern – Cameron Locklar

Hello,

My name is Cameron Locklar and I am a senior Industrial Design student at Appalachian State University.  I will be working with Montie all summer to help design new products and help with re-designing some existing products.

One of my first tasks at Montie Gear was to come up with an adapter plate for a tubular band for the Y-Shot Slingshot.  This was one of the first ideas that had been thrown around and has changed since.  We ditched the nub on top and made a positive channel for the band to go around.

Next I began to work on sizing for a Titanium Y-Shot.  We wanted to expand it roughly an inch in both directions.  We are still working on the thickness of the Titanium Y-Shot since we are allowed to make it a lot thinner due to the strength of Titanium.

Our next project is a Starship Slingshot which is an elongated slingshot supported by the forearm.  We are still in the beginning stages of the design, but we have a body form coming along nicely.  We will be continuing to work on this for weeks to come.
