Hello!

This project marked a major leap in my manufacturing skills, showing me how difficult real tolerances are and deepening my appreciation for machinists and complex geometry. With limited experience, I built the entire cube on a table saw using vertical and angled cuts. The result not only turned out well but also sparked my passion for manufacturing and CAD, shaping the direction of my engineering work.

Laser-Cut Electric Guitar — I designed this to test the laser cutter’s precision using complex geometry and to create a unique display piece. I used SolidWorks’ image import to trace the guitar shape, scaled it for the laser bed, and assembled it with acrylic glue. The project turned out great and taught me the importance of speed/power settings for different materials and the practical limits of laser cutting.

This rotary engine rotor was a personal project driven by my passion for automotive engineering and my goal to understand the complex geometry possible in SolidWorks. I created it using reference geometry and by manipulating basic shapes into advanced forms. The project deepened my understanding of modeling complex designs and strengthened my ability to approach intricate geometry confidently.

This brake rotor disc project explores how slotted and drilled rotors dissipate heat compared to traditional designs. I modeled the rotor in SolidWorks and used Simulation tools to run advanced thermal and structural tests. Although the project isn’t fully completed yet, it has already expanded my understanding of rotor design and the engineering considerations behind effective heat management.

This subwoofer model, starting with the magnet assembly, is a personal CAD project aimed at improving my understanding of dynamic motion in SolidWorks. I based dimensions on manufacturer specs and researched internal behavior to model realistic movement. While not finished yet, the goal is to create an accurate, dynamic simulation of how a subwoofer operates using SolidWorks Analysis.
