WaveBreaker Technologies is actively seeking enthusiastic and innovative students to contribute to refining the current prototype, as needed, leading to the development of a comprehensive manufacturing process plan for our inaugural product: the 'Day Tripper.' This entails enhancing our Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files to align with the specifications of the manufacturing process and conducting a comparative analysis to ascertain the optimal product shape. Additionally, these refined files will be instrumental in generating drawings that adhere to the criteria set forth by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a nonprovisional (utility) patent. To further illustrate the functionality of the WaveBreaker 'Day Tripper,' we need animations showcasing its capabilities in water diversion and item storage. We invite dedicated individuals to join us in this exciting endeavor, contributing their skills and creativity to shape the future of WaveBreaker Technologies.
