I designed a detailed 3D model of a GeoKnight DK20S Swing-Away Heat Press using SolidWorks 2025 to replicate mechanical structure and functional components. The project aimed to deepen understanding of industrial equipment design and precision modeling.
Conducted dimensional analysis by taking measurements of real life components and using reference images to ensure scale accuracy
Modeled individual components including the swing-arm mechanism, platen assembly, and control panel using parametric features
Produced a fully articulated 3D CAD model with accurate geometry and functional motion simulation.
Gained deeper insight into mechanical design principles and rnhanced proficiency in SolidWorks tools such as assemblies, mates, and appearance rendering.
I designed and constructed a fully functional 6‑speed manual transmission using LEGO Technic components. The project aimed to replicate the mechanical behavior of a real automotive gearbox, including gear ratios and torque transfer through a compact, modular assembly.
Selected and arranged LEGO Technic gears to create 6 distinct gear ratios, ensuring proper meshing and alignment
Built a custom shift mechanism that allowed smooth transitions between gears, modeled after real-world selector forks
Used Python to program simple engine function that increased RPM via distance sensor as gas pedal was pushed further down
Achieved a stable, smoothly shifting 6‑speed transmission that accurately demonstrated mechanical power flow and gear‑ratio changes.
Improved understanding of drivetrain mechanics, torque paths, and the engineering trade‑offs involved in compact gearbox design.
Combined programming with mechanical design in order to create fully functioning prototype that simulates real world application.
I designed and prototyped a vinyl record rack and display stand, beginning with a detailed 3D model in SolidWorks and then fabricating the final structure using wood. The goal was to create a functional, aesthetically clean storage solution that balanced stability, capacity, and ease of access.
Created a full SolidWorks assembly model, including dimensional constraints, and load‑bearing considerations.
Selected appropriate wood materials and used standard shop tools to cut, sand, assemble, and finish the physical prototype.
Iterated on the design during construction to improve joint strength, stability, and visual alignment with the original CAD concept.
Delivered a sturdy, visually clean vinyl rack and stand that matched the SolidWorks model and met all functional requirements.
Demonstrated the ability to translate a digital design into a precise physical build, reinforcing CAD‑to‑fabrication workflow skills.
Improved understanding of material behavior, tolerances, and manufacturability considerations not always visible in CAD.
I modeled an Elkay commercial bubbler fountain found in buildings across campus for a general engineering project. The purpose was to replicate the correct external geometry and key features of the bubbler fountain.
Researched product specs and took measurements of real life bubbler fountain
Utilized fillets, extrusions, ellipses, and other modeling techniques to obtain accurate geometry
Gained hands-on experience in reverse engineering and product modeling
Learned new 3D modeling techniques through trial and error
I modeled a basic gear pump system using SolidWorks to simulate mechanical interaction between gears.
Created various parts including, shaft seal, gear box, gear shaft, gear pulley, gasket piece, and gear box cover to create full assembly
Produced fully functional assembly with realistic motion simulation and precise measurements that resulted in precise gear tooth interaction
