SolidWorks • Siemens NX • Onshape // FDM 3D Printers
SolidWorks / Siemens NX
Both on SolidWorks and Siemens NX, I have created 3D models and assemblies of different parts and products – including a detergent container, a shovel handle, the VanGo Desk system for Ergonomic Solutions, and The Cox-Kit.
I have also produced dimensioned drawings on both SolidWorks and Siemens NX.
Onshape
In Onshape, I modeled a small geometric flower pot and then created a model of a two-part mold to cast four pots.
(The model was utilized to create a 3D printed sand mold to cast the small pots in an Iron Pour).
Siemens NX CAM
My team and I created core and cavity models for two injection molded parts (modeled in the first image). We also created the manufacturing programs for a HAAS Super Mini Mill 2, so we could produce the molds and then create the injection molded parts.
3D Printing Exploration
For a personal project, I set out to help clear up some of the limited counter space around my kitchen sink, by creating a "sink caddy" that attached over the sink faucet to carry a brush and sponge.
I modeled the two halves of the part in SolidWorks, complete with a two cantilever-style integrated attachment mechanisms to clasp the parts together over the sink faucet, and then printed the two parts on a small FDM printer. I was able to explore different print settings, and create multiple iterations of a product – all in my room!
