Selected Projects
In-House CNC Lathe Design and Build
Mechanical Design / CNC Manufacturing
Led electrical and motion-control integration for a 14-person team that designed and built an in-house CNC lathe for ball joint production.
- Configured Mach3, spindle transmission, stepper motors, drives, safety controls, and grounding.
- Supported delivery of a low-vibration lathe capable of machining 0.75-inch stock in approximately 3 minutes.
- Achieved approximately 0.1–0.5 mm tolerances.
- Supported a MXN $35K build compared with a comparable new machine costing more than MXN $1M.
Heat Exchanger Airflow Optimization
CFD Simulation / Thermal-Fluid Engineering
Modeled and simulated six tube-angle configurations in ANSYS Fluent to evaluate airflow performance in a heat exchanger system.
- Used SST k-omega turbulence modeling, mesh generation, boundary-condition setup, and streamline analysis.
- Identified the strongest configuration based on airflow penetration, distribution, and reduced recirculation.
- Presented engineering recommendations to Daikin engineers.
Paint Booth Gate Structural Redesign
Structural Design / SolidWorks Simulation
Contributed to four design iterations of an A36 steel immersion-gate redesign for a paint booth.
- Used SolidWorks Simulation and hand calculations.
- Evaluated loads, Von Mises stress, deflection, welds, fasteners, and stress concentrations.
