June 15, 2015 - Sept. 11, 2015
I worked at RFP during summer 2015 as a mechanical engineering intern. Though this was my second internship (in 2014 I interned at Pexco in Yakima, WA), this was my first opportunity to apply my CAD skills and work on a capital project. I was tasked with designing the out feed system for a new plywood veneer lathe. Using a system of powered rollers and jumping chains, I designed a path that carried stacks from 16 different outputs to one shared forklift pickup.
I became very familiar with the plywood production, but the entire intern team also was given the opportunity to tour logging site, the sawmill, and engineered wood and particleboard plants.
