The creation of a machine to apply a reinforcing coating
to the surface of wood is a combined effort of this senior
design team and the University of Maine's Advanced
Engineered Wood Composites Center.

Reinforced wood composites are an aspiration of the AEWC
center for blast resistant structures as well as buildings capable
of withstanding the forces of nature's strongest disasters.

Buildings constructed with this reinforced lumber can protect
our troops on the front lines of our nation's wars as well as
protect civil service agents lending aid during natural disasters.

The goal of this senior design project is to design a machine
 that will autonomously apply a reinforcing coating
to the surface of wood.
