Cryostat Fridge SolidWorks Model
Physics Laboratory Research
-
Measured complicated parts and modeled them using SolidWorks for use in research and experiments
-
Iterated and optimized designs in large assemblies, and collaborated with machinists to produce final product
-
Provided detailed drawings of intricate parts to machine shop for manufacturing, adhering to standard protocol
Gallery of project shown below
This SolidWorks Model is an exact replica of the top plate of they physics lab's cryostat fridge. It includes every feature and connector so when sent to collaborating labs they can use this model for reference.

3D Printed Model Guillotine
Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Class
-
Worked in a group of five to design a guillotine using Autodesk Inventor
-
Lead the group and designated specific tasks to people
-
Assembled the final CAD drawing and measured each part to ensure the tolerances worked
-
Submitted CAD drawing to 3D printing lab to print guillotine as one piece (no assembly required)
