Rapid harness fabrication systems and methods

A rapid harness fabrication system comprising:

• a perforated metal board;
• a sheet of perforable material disposed over at least a portion of the perforated metal board;
• a projector, the projector configured to project a wiring harness routing on the perforable material disposed over at least the portion of the perforated metal board;
• and
• a plurality of magnetic pins, each pin comprising:
• a positioning head and a magnetic collar, the magnetic collar disposed between the positioning head and a shaft of the pin;
• wherein the projector, or a computer system coupled to the projector, further comprises:
• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor and having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the one or more processors cause the projector and/or the computer system to correct for parallax, to project the wiring harness routing on the perforable material disposed over at least the portion of the perforated metal board at a one-to-one scale.

A rapid harness fabrication system comprising:

• and
• a plurality of magnetic pins, each pin comprising:
• a positioning head;
• and
• a magnetic collar, the magnetic collar disposed between the positioning head and a shaft of the pin, wherein the magnetic collar comprises a magnetic portion that is circular and concentric about a longitudinal axis of the shaft, and wherein the magnetic collar is configured to magnetically engage the perforated metal board via the magnetic portion while at least a portion of the perforable material is disposed between the magnetic collar and the perforated metal board.
