assembly machine

This genesis of this project came from a class I took my senior year of college where we were each tasked to develop a proof of concept design for an assembly machine that could build a pen every 12 seconds, this is what I came up with.

Ink Pen

This is an Ink Pen I designed and toolpathed inside CATIA. It was then produced on a Hurco TM6 for my college senior project.

Urban Pownder

The Urban Pounder (UP) project came about from a request of an associate of mine to have the body of a classic pre 2K Autococker reverse engineered and then modified. After I completed the body of the gun I decided to continue the project and create the rest of the gun as well.

miscellaneous

There are many small, one off projects that I work on that are not big enough to merit their own page, here is where they end up.

3dvia

I also work with the Free 3Dvia Shape and Scenes tools for some of my clients, here is an example of one of those projects i did for Engineering.com.

3d ink

bluecreek

cake pan insert

This project was designed out of sheet metal based on a photo-shop concept the customer had developed. There were several design iterations made, upon completion of the model the prototype was sourced with a D.I.D supplier.

casting design

Various natural gas sand castings that have been reverse engineered from 2D prints into 3D models for the application of Fillets, Draft, and Magma analysis.

food processing knife

This knife was reverse engineering using calipers and steel rule, prints were then produced from the 3D model and a replacement set of knives were made for the end customer.

hunting blind

An ultra light / ultra portable box blind system developed off of rough customer sketches.

laser cutting case

Developed from a rough model supplied by the customer, this hobby laser case is comprised of 7 different pieces of sheet metal (all flatten-able into blanks for cutting on a laser) with PEM’s and interior mounting hardware for the laser system.

machined

These various work holding and check fixtures were designed for use in the creation and checking of automotive parts at a machine shop.

race car frame

The original red frame was reverse engineered into SolidWorks, certain areas were then redesigned, FEA studies were run on the front hoops, and the data collected helped the frame builder save weight on his new design.

red bull

The RedBull Refrigerator came about from my need for a Solidworks Sheet metal part I could put in my portfolio, I like RedBull, so this product was a natural fit. The model is fully designed in the SolidWorks Sheet Metal workbench and each component is full unfold-able for production on CNC metal fabrication equipment.

video

Besides just doing CAD design I also enjoy filming / editing clips of my friends and family participating in action sports. I have carried this hobby over to my CAD work as well. These videos are the result.
