SolidWorks Design & Engineering ProjectsThis section showcases my SolidWorks projects, where I apply engineering design principles to create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and technical drawings. My work emphasizes accuracy, manufacturability, and iterative design, with a focus on developing functional components that can be prototyped and tested.
