Center of Gravity Sculpture that will balance on the tip of your finger   What is "center of gravity"? Throw a ball in the air and gravity pulls it straight back down. Not everything moves like this when gravity acts on it. Most objects are not nice, neat shapes like balls. That means gravity acts on them in more complex ways. Even so, all objects behave as though their mass (the stuff they're made from) is concentrated at a point called their center of gravity. A simple object like a ball has its center of gravity in a very obvious place: right at its center. But in a more complex object, like your body, the center of gravity is slightly higher than your waist because there's more weight in the top half of your body than in the bottom half.

Work exclusively in3D print designs, and adaptation of existing parts, for example test rigs, although the rig itself does not change, adaptation is needed to accommodate the new part tested. 3D printing is ideal and with new filaments printed parts are becoming strong and more ware resistant every day.
