PROTOTYPING: SOLIDWORKS, ONSHAPE, 3D PRINTING, LASER CUTTING, SOLDERING
My experience with rapid prototyping techniques stems from the utilization of 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks and Onshape. 3D Models that have been developed are produced utilizing 3D printing and laser cutting tools, whichever more appropriate for the application.
​
Oftentimes, my 3D skills are further developed in my attempts to replicate real-world parts in order to replace or improve parts of a system. Such skills are invaluable, as many real-world objects contain complex geometric shapes that require "thinking outside the box" to model with tools provided by 3D CAD software.
3D MODELING PORTFOLIO
Please feel free to explore this gallery below by clicking on any of the images for more details. This gallery contains some of my previous work with 3D CAD software that I am able to make publicly available.
This is a bracket that was designed and implemented in my senior capstone project. The design includes a custom designed bracket, linear bearings with flanges, stainless steel guide rods, and a custom sealing plate. All design considerations account for the dimensions of the proprietary tissue diagnostics unit.
This is an image of the Skittle Sorter that was designed completely on SolidWorks. The only moving part to this design is the central plate (Denoted with red asterisk). For detailed drawing, please click on the "Skittle Sorter Drawing" for detailed notes and descriptions of each part.
This is a helical gear that was modeled with the purpose of replacing a stripped OEM helical gear from a coffee grinder unit. The gear is dimensionally accurate and was successful in transferring work from a helical driver to a conical burr assembly.
