CAD Product Design

Custom Phone Case Concept

Designed a custom phone case concept in CAD with a camera cutout, back panel detailing, and integrated geometric branding on the rear face.

3D CAD Product housing Detail-driven modeling
  • Modeled a slim enclosure with recessed camera geometry and edge-side button cutouts.
  • Developed a branded back-face treatment and pocket-like rear feature into the concept.
  • Used visualization-oriented CAD views to communicate the form and manufacturing intent.
Structural Build

Balsa Tower Prototype

Built a lightweight truss-style tower prototype using wood members and adhesive assembly, focusing on alignment, bracing, and overall structural stability.

Hands-on fabrication Structural design Prototype assembly
  • Assembled a vertically framed tower with repeated cross-braced structural bays.
  • Balanced precision, symmetry, and material efficiency during manual fabrication.
  • Used physical prototyping to understand load paths, stiffness, and construction tolerances.
Mechanical Design

Component Modeling and Technical Drawing

Created a mechanical component in CAD and translated it into a dimensioned engineering drawing with hole patterns, section views, and manufacturing-ready callouts.

Technical drawing Dimensioning Machining-oriented CAD
  • Modeled a cylindrical support component with mounting geometry and stepped features.
  • Produced a drawing package with critical dimensions, diameters, and through-hole notes.
  • Practiced converting a 3D concept into a format suitable for fabrication and review.
