A quick look at the platform I led product design on: a real-time 3D configurator, full ADA accessibility, and a direct pipeline from order form to factory floor.
Pneumatic Valve Manifold | Industrial Design, CAD & SolidWorks
Pneumatic valve manifold designed with a focus on internal flow channels, precision machining, sealing, component integration, and manufacturability.
The project covers the development of a machined aluminum valve manifold from early concept sketches through detailed engineering documentation and assembly visualization.
Key areas covered:
1. 3D CAD and industrial product design
2. Pneumatic valve manifold architecture
3. Internal channel and flow-path design
4. Section views for internal geometry
5. BSPP/BSPT/NPT port considerations
6. Valve and sensor integration
7. O-ring grooves and sealing interfaces
8. Mounting interfaces and fastener locations
9. GD&T, datum structure and position tolerances
10. Flatness and perpendicularity requirements
11. Surface finish and general tolerances
12. Manufacturing and CNC machining considerations
13. Detailed technical drawings and dimensions
14. Assembly and component integration
The final documentation communicates the design intent, critical dimensions, tolerances, sealing locations, internal passages, and manufacturing requirements needed to move the manifold toward production.
