Modeled a stepper-driven muscle actuator as a full assembly in SolidWorks for product design coursework, with rendered assembled and exploded views and a motion study. The 3D views show the mechanism with the front cover off (fasteners omitted), the key parts on their own, and the outer shell.
Tools: SolidWorks
Skills: Assembly modeling, product design and development, rendering
Contract design project: Designed and 3D printed a custom bracket to mount a customer-facing point-of-sale display onto another monitor. Version 1 interfaced with the display’s OEM VESA mount. When the client changed to a different display, Version 2 was redesigned around the new hardware and introduced a custom VESA mount with integrated fins, forming a two-part hinged assembly and eliminating the need for the OEM mount. The design was iterated to meet the client’s space and mounting constraints and delivered as a functional part.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Client requirements, design iteration, adjustable joints, design for additive manufacturing
Designed and assembled a cooling experiment using a CPU heat sink and variable-speed fan. Measured temperatures with a T-type thermocouple and NI USB-TC01 in LabVIEW, then analyzed heat transfer performance and time constants in Excel.
Tools: LabVIEW, NI USB-TC01 DAQ, Excel
Skills: Experiment design, data acquisition, thermal analysis
Modeled and printed a replacement fridge door handle to restore full functionality — measured from the broken original and matched to the existing mounting points. A refined second version is now printed and installed (photo coming soon); both designs are viewable below.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Measurement and fit, functional part replacement, design iteration
Group-designed SAD light therapy lamp for product design coursework at Western, modeled as a full assembly in Onshape. The pictures and the 3D view show the complete group lamp.
Tools: Onshape
Skills: Product design and development, assembly modeling, teamwork
Individually designed SAD light therapy lamp from the same product design coursework, modeled in Onshape. The picture shows the assembled lamp concept; the 3D view shows the two-part diffuser with its paper diffusing insert.
Tools: Onshape
Skills: Product design and development, assembly modeling
Compact mount that attaches a camera to a badminton net to record games for playback and review.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Fixture design, design for additive manufacturing
Two-part under-monitor mount for a MagSafe charger: the charger press-fits into a slider that rides in a rail, extending to charge and retracting out of sight. Printed iterations refined the sliding fit, cable clearance, and the detents that hold the slider in its three positions.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Press-fit and sliding-fit tolerancing, detent design, iterative prototyping
Developed a slim 3D-printed AirTag holder that attaches to a wallet, with integrated storage. Refined over three design revisions — all three are viewable below.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Compact packaging, iterative fit testing
Reverse-engineered a molded bag buckle and adapted the design for FDM printing, adding new attachment features the original part didn't have.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Reverse engineering, design for additive manufacturing
Designed a custom mount that positions a Wyze camera on a Prusa MK3S+ for remote monitoring of 3D print jobs.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Fixture design, rapid prototyping
Slim slide-on cover for a key head, sized for a snug friction fit.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Friction-fit design, compact parts
Slim two-part storage box with a matching fitted lid, sized for sewing supplies.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Enclosure design, lid fit tolerancing
Replacement corner connector for a mesh window screen frame — the two legs press into the frame channels to join and square the sides.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Measurement and fit, functional part replacement
