About

I personally love using CAD, both in university and outside. I have been using all types of CAD including SolidWorks, Solid Edge and AutoCAD, and I am very proficient in Solid Edge and SolidWorks, and I have a certificate of competency from SIEMENS on the use of Solid Edge 2020. I also have a linked interest in machining (both CNC and non) and I love seeing how parts are machined from billet materials into complex multi-axis parts.

In my latest university group project, we were assigned a project to complete a full design report for a hydrogen powered vehicle. I was assigned the role of mechanical designer due to students in my group recognising my proficiency in the use of CAD from my previous university work. We decided to design a hydrogen power unit for use in a golf buggy. We chose a golf buggy as it easily fit the specification for a hydrogen powered vehicle, due to the short range needed, and always returning to the same clubhouse each day (which can be used as a refuelling depot). I have designed a fully assembled & working Solid works CAD model of a Wankel-rotary engine for this project (I can attach the design report, including the CAD visualisations and manufacturing drawings, as supporting documents).
