Graphic Design

Case 1: Drone Simulation // Case 2: Exoskeleton CAD // Case 3: Racing Seat // Case 4: Engine Stand

One thing I take pride of in all of my projects is my attention to detail. I invest a great deal of time into form development, materials, color and manufacturing processes.

I specialize in CAD modeling, rendering and graphic design skills using 2D and 3D tools such as Photoshop and Solidworks.

This page is a summary of all the renders and drawings I have created.

Case 1: Sea Drone Docking Simulation

Task: Use SOLIDWORKS and Photoview 360 to render the docking and charging of Clearbot

Final simulation in SOLIDWORKS/Photoview 360. Drafts provided below.

Draft #1 - Initial Concept and Preliminary Applications

After receiving the problem statement, I made a preliminary CAD drawing of the system. All of the CAD parts needed to be made by hand, which made the process complex and time-consuming. I created a short animation of the automated docking as well.

Draft #2 - Improvements and 3D Printed Model

Once I presented the CTO with the initial simulation we found a few major problems. The first was the dock was too expensive, and I needed to use far fewer modular blocks (grey) to minimize costs. Another problem was I found out that Clearbot can not move backwards! The dock had to be redesigned to accommodate for this.

Draft #3 - Modelling Charging System and Final Simulation

After a few iterations, I was able to complete the final dock and simulate Clearbot’s entry and exit into the system. The main design change here is the dock became a throughway.

Case 2: QBMeT Exoskeleton

Task: Use SOLIDWORKS to design joints and 3D print exoskeleton

Exoskeleton project from 2021

Draft #1 - Initial Concept

Some preliminary design decisions were made during this draft. I decided to use perforated steel tubing for the frame due to ease of implementation and material stiffness. I designed the attachment mechanism (red) to incorporate nylon straps so it would be fixed firmly to the leg.

Draft #2 - Improvements and 3D Printed Designs

The first problem I had with this project was the attachment curve needed to change for each part of the leg. I created multiple CAD drawings and consulted with my roommate Mitch who is a varsity athlete taking Kinesiology.
