Computer Aided Design

With City and Guilds qualifications in both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional Computer Aided Design. Since 2015 I have been working extensively with the AutoDesk software; AutoCAD to design products for myself, family and friends, many of these items being used on a day-to-day basis.

My main objective with my designs thus far has been to use a combination of 3D design and 3d printing to create sustainable and practical products to help in everyday life; for example, creating items like custom phone cases for extremely specific purposes, compact, interlocking wire holders for hobby electronics, pliers designed specifically for holding miniature items so they can be painted, and many more.

This is the Arduino Nano; its a common microcontroller used in many home build electronic devices. After taking it upon my self to learn how to code, so that I can include more practical uses in my projects, I saw there were no readily available and accurate models of this unit to base designs off of, so I took it upon myself to create one.

It only took 3 hours from start to finish, including taking all measurements manually to create this fully accurate model. It is the heart of all the electronic creations I have made, so I had to be sure that when I was crafting this that I made it as accurately as possible, down to 0.01mm.
