Bench Grinder Mechanical Assembly | SolidWorks CAD & Engineering Documentation
This project showcases my end-to-end workflow for creating a manufacturing-ready mechanical assembly in SolidWorks. The goal was to accurately model a bench grinder while demonstrating the level of detail I bring to industrial equipment and mechanical product development.
Starting from the overall product architecture, I created a fully parametric 3D assembly with individually modeled components, realistic part relationships, and assembly constraints. Every major component, including the base, motor housing, grinding wheels, wheel guards, tool rests, shafts, and junction box, was designed to reflect practical engineering and manufacturability.
Beyond the CAD model, I produced detailed engineering documentation, including orthographic drawings, dimensional layouts, mounting details, and section views that reveal the internal shaft and bearing assemblies. These drawings communicate how the product is built, assembled, and manufactured while maintaining clear technical standards.
This project highlights my ability to transform a product concept into a clean, organized, and production-ready CAD package suitable for prototyping, engineering review, and manufacturing documentation.

Amazing!
Most apps get one photoshoot, then watch the brand slide out of shape as every picture after it comes back looking a little different.
This project fixed that. Built a repeatable photo style for the app's brand using @Krea , so the team can make new shots any time and they still look like they belong together.
Here's a preview. Different actions, angles, and faces. Still clearly one product.
The team can make more next month without me and it holds. App Store, website, ads, all looking like the same company.
The alternative is what most products live with. Every new picture a little off, until the brand looks like a different company in each place someone runs into it.
The real win isn't the visual consistency, it's that the team can generate new on-brand shots next month without you in the loop. That's the line between a style and a system.
So I designed Fundflex - one clean dashboard where your entire financial world finally makes sense. 🧡
