CAD Resume

________________________________________________________________________

This booklet was put together to document my progress

in computer aided design during my college career in
mechanical engineering. Please note: This book contains a
small portion of my actual CAD drawings.
A few of the CAD drawings were created during high
school but the bulk were drawn up in college for many
different college projects. A few of the CAD projects shown
in this booklet were done for my own amusement and to
improve my skills in CAD.
Many of the projects in this booklet are broken up into
three parts, the first being the detailed CAD design, the
second being the analysis of the CAD design, and then last
being the final fabricated part. This was done to demonstrate
my abilities of drafting, analysis and machining. I feel many
of these projects have given me a head-start in what is
expected in industry.
I also felt it was important to develop the ability to sell
and image, idea or concept for publicity, sponsorship or
support. I did this by dressing up already created CAD
pictures through photo editing programs. A couple of these
pictures were inserted into this booklet to demonstrate this
point.
All of the CAD pictures in this booklet contain personal
notation, describing when it was created and for what
purpose. Finally, I would like to thank a few of my friends
and professors who help me with some of the project in this
booklet. The next page is my Resume with contact
information.

This was one of my first projects
drawn to scale. I created this in
AutoCad R13 in 1997, it is a small
wall power transformer.
This was two projects done in my

Again, this is a side view, the blue line is the way the boat
would sit in the water fully loaded. This is a higher speed
cabin curser, speed 36.0 knots,speed= 41.4 M.p.h.
 This is the first 3D object I
ever made. I challenged
myself to design this in
Inventor 4.0 then build it.

You can see that this is one

of my first design in AutoDesk
Inventor by looking at the
dimensioning.
Here is the final product, the design
was slightly modified due to the
availability of materials. The stand
worked nicely it total cost to build was
$20. However, my new stereo
speaker doesn't fill the space of the
stand as nicely as my old one did.
Here are two, trial piece I create to get used to design things in
Inventor, this was done 7 hours after first being introduced to Inventor
4. Notice the use of threaded holes, chamfers, pockets and splines.

This is a computer desk

created for my roommate Can
Sur, to fit in a small space in
our dorm room. The whole SCALE 1 / 10
desk was design in CAD and
then it was build by me. The
CAD design was then
migrated to 2D to help in the
construction of the Desk.
Detail in this is down to the

Here is the final finshed
product, I purchased all of
the wood from Home
Depot. Notice my
Roommates Leg in the
bottom right corner.
This is a wing test section that is to be inserted in a wind tunnel.
The test section has a rotating squre cage fan at the leading
edge of the wing. This was design for my senior design project.
The side panels on the wing section are put in place to eliminate
edge effects, thus making a wing of infinite length. The wing
section was designed in AutoDesk Inventor 5.0.
This is and exploded view of the
Fanwing, and all of its components.
Notice the Zoom in views.
This is a
picture of the
mass
properties of
the wing test
section,
Notice the
mass of the
wing section.

This is a bill of
materials for the
turbine of the
Fanwing design.
Before the wing was manufactured, a stress analysis on the blades was
conducted to insure that the wing did not fail in rotation.

Above shows a deformation or displacement plot of the turbine at 4000 Rpm

Bellow shows the stress lines existing in the turbine at a rotational speed of 4000
Rpm, the turbine was found to be with in limits.
Here is the manufactured Fanwing design, the
design was spun, up to the design limit of 5000
Rpm. Below is a picture of the Fanwing
spinning at 3000 Rpm, notice the wind
streamers moving rapidly.
This is the proposed fanwing
airplane design. This design
incorpates the Fanwing into a
flyable airplane. The wing is
powered by a small gas engine.
The plane is controlled
remotely.
This was a static stress analysis done for my friend
Joal for his senior design team Fitsat 2003. He asked
me to verify that the Max load induced by the rocket
engine would not fracture the rockets shell. The
results determine that rocket is at 25% of it fracture Pinch stress
stress at Maximum thrust. Notice the pinch stress in induced by the
the side of the shell. Deformation scale is set to rocket motor.
1000:1. This analysis took my 2.4 GHz Computer 4
hours to run, this was due to the small mesh size I
picked.
 Part of my senior design
project for the fanwing
required us to design and
build a 6 degree of freedom
force balance to measure the
fanwing flight preformances.
This is small part of 6DOF
design.

View in Autodesk Inventor of Strain Gauges.

 2 1

This was a project done for

senior design. This was
design to replace the need for
$300 force gages. This was
designed to used electronic
strain resistors to measure
the strain on a deflecting
B member, this strain is then B
used to calculate the force
exerted on the two hooks. A
full set of calculations
accompany this design, these
gauge can measure forces as
small as 0.001 Newtons, by
replacing the bending
member with a more elastic
material. These strain gauges
saved the school $2,600.

This calibration system is
designed to be used with
strain gauges. Calibration
of the strain gauges is
accomplished by hanging
weights of known mass off
of the blue strings. The
foreground shows an
adjustable calibration
bracket. The top and
bottom plates require 6
pulleys to fully calibrate the
force balance.
 Above is a picture of the Calibration system design. The
top force balance plate is made of wood for pretesting.

The four strain guage calibration

bracket shown were machined by
me in 7 hours. The calibration
string were held in tension by
scrap bolts for a pre-evaluation
test.
Part of the 6 DOF project was writing a proposal to
National instruments for some Data Aquisition
equipment. This is a picture from that proposal,
written by me and Eric Zimmeny. The Proposal
won $9,000 in donated materials.
Here is picture created, by cut and paste for
Marc's senior class presentation. They were
very effective in demonstrating there point. I
created these picture to be eye catchers.
This was a advertisement created for my friend
marc and his Mini-Baja senior design team. The
Frame was designed in CAD by the by friend Joel
in the picture and my roommate marc. The was
created to show the detail inserted in to the CAD
drawn. In the background is a picture of the final
manufactured Baja frame. A shadow of marc is
visible in the upper right hand corner.
Again, This was a picture advertisement
created for my friend marc and his
Mini-Baja senior design team. This picture
shows the full detail of the final CAD frame
which was designed by the by friend Joel
in the picture and my roommate marc.
Notice the 4x4 in the background
The second half of
my senior year I
was on the SAE
Formula 1 team. My
first task was to
design and build a
fuel injection block
for a pre-existing
engine. The task
took about 30 hours
with 4 revisions.
The final revision is
seen here. Along
with the injector a
fuel rail was design
and manufactured.

This is a better view of the injection block that I designed.

The blue air box was purchased. This was design and
build for a Yamaha R1 motorcycle engine.
This is the advertisement to the
sponsors that was created for the
formula poster session. The
background is an actual picture of
the working engine.
Here is the final product. Note the velocity stacks which were
designed to aid air flow into the engine. The fuel rail is being
temporally held in place with twist ties for testing. To better show
the fuel injection block the air box has been removed. I took me
and a machinist 12 hours of drilling, C&N, and porting time to
complete this assembly.
This is a project that me and my This is a Razor
Roommate Marc committed to doing Scooter that I

complete. We took our time to add in
as much detail as possible.

The scooter utilized a pulley

system with a tenser to act as
a clutch for the engine.
The scooter was
drawn to 0.001 "
using calipers, me
and my friend Marc
took a long time
drawing every little
detail. Notice the
grip pattern on the
handle bars.

Notice the detail in the wheels

and the steering bracket. The
engine brackets can be see
along with the tensioner pulley
in blue. Final calculation
suggest the top speed is 14
M.p.h.
This was a poster created for
practice to show of the
Motorized Razor Scooter.
This is a picture of the formula
car differential designed in Pro-E
by my friend Nhan Tran. I took
his CAD model and Glorified it in
Adobe Photoshop. This was then
presented to the formula car
sponsors in 2003.
This is a aerodynamic body design for the SAE
formula car project for senior design. This took
about 12 hours to complete, The picture below
show the recess for the hood and side panels.
The background it a picture of body plug after machining on a 5 axis
mill. The body is made out of machining foam and will be covered in
fiberglass to create the final body. The processing time to get the
body to this point was 14 hours with three people, including myself.
The blue lines on the body are the glue seams of the foam blocks.
This picture is again a advertisement for sponsorship.
This is a portable
laser gun
developed for an
Army SBIR job
over the summer
of 2001, it took
about 97 hours of
CAD work to
complete. Along
with the CAD work
I had to analysis
the stresses on
the laser rod
components.
Unfortunately I am
not allowed to
show any more
detail than what I
have here.

This is the powering

unit of the laser gun,
it is a fuel cell design
that power a diode
laser stack, and at
the same time cools
the stack. This took
about 20 hours worth
of CAD work to
produce. Notice the
fans in the side of
the backpack. The
side walls of the
backpack were
made translucent so
one can see the
internal components.
 This is the results
of a dynamic heat
