As a Mechanical Design Engineer at Proteus Engineering, 3D CAD software forms an integral part of my everyday responsibilities. A standout project was when I led a team to utilize SolidWorks to design the frame and mechanical systems of an industrial air compressor.
Using SolidWorks, we were able to easily visualize components, run interference checks, and carry out simulated testing. Its simulation features allowed us to identify and rectify design flaws efficiently, and we could reduce fabrication errors, thus saving both time and resources. This experience demonstrated how mastery of CAD software can significantly impact designing and manufacturing processes, leading to increased operational productivity.
