• SolidWorks Proficiency:

  • I am highly skilled in using SolidWorks to create detailed 2D and 3D CAD models for part & fixture design. My expertise allows me to optimize designs for manufacturability, ensuring seamless integration and performance during assembly processes.

  • I'm experienced in creating configurations, exploded assemblies, and advanced mating techniques, as well as defining global variables and equations for parametric modeling.

• Material Selection:

  • I have a deep understanding of material properties and selection criteria, enabling me to choose the right materials for each part based on factors like strength, durability, cost, and manufacturability.

• Design for Manufacturing:

  • My designs account for 3D printing, laser cutting, and machining, ensuring that parts can be produced efficiently using my selected manufacturing method. This focus on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) streamlines the production process and reduces lead times.

• Optimizing for Efficiency:

  • I continuously refine my fixture designs by incorporating features such as bearings, springs, and magnets. These elements enhance fixture performance, improving part handling, reducing wear, and optimizing assembly workflows.

• Fit & Tolerancing:

  • I am experienced in marking machined features for specific fits and tolerances and applying GD&T principles to ensure that all components meet precise specifications for integration and functionality.

• OTS Components:

  • I select off-the-shelf (OTS) components to minimize design costs and lead times while maintaining the integrity of the fixture design.

Please see the gallery below for some examples of fixtures I've designed. Unfortunately, I am unable to share images of most fixtures due to proprietary information.
