CAD Projects
I’ve been working on CAD projects throughout high school, primarily using the Onshape platform to bring my ideas to life through 3D modeling and design. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in creating detailed, functional models for a range of projects, from engineering prototypes to architectural designs. The projects showcased below highlight some of my best work. 3D STL files of each model can be available upon request.
Bubble Bee
The Mission
Every year, thousands of bees die due to harmful pollination practices and commercial bee transportation.
That’s why we created Bubble Bee: a safe, sustainable way to support pollination here on Earth—and beyond. As humanity expands to new worlds, large-scale pollination must be part of that journey.
Because where there’s life, there must be bees.

Bat Mobile
For this project, I designed a highly detailed replica of the 1989 Batmobile, consisting of 125 individually modeled pieces using the Onshape platform. The goal was to create a LEGO-style kit that adheres to specific design constraints while maintaining accuracy and functionality. This Batmobile replica features a streamlined body, precise wheel detailing, and the iconic bat-shaped fins, all carefully modeled to reflect the original design.
Picture Frame
For this project, I designed and created a picture frame using a 12" long piece of 1"x8" pine wood, 1/8" acrylic, and MDF, utilizing the laser engraver and CNC machine. The front of the frame features a custom, school-appropriate engraving created with the laser engraver, while the CNC machine was used to cut an opening for the picture, ensuring a clean and accurate fit. The acrylic and MDF backer board were laser-cut to secure the picture in place. The overall design allows for both aesthetic appeal and functionality, with provisions for the frame to either stand on its own or hang from a wall.
Machine Vise
For the Machine Vise, I designed a machine vise, focusing on the critical aspects of fits and tolerances to ensure the seamless integration of the 3D parts. Each component was meticulously modeled to achieve precise alignments and functionality, allowing for smooth operation when assembled. The design process involved careful consideration of mechanical constraints, leading to a fully functional vise that meets operational requirements.
LED Light Up Sign
For this project, I designed and built an LED Light Up Sign, integrating both mechanical fabrication and electronics. The base of the sign was designed in Onshape and fabricated using a CNC machine, while the acrylic sign and holder were laser-engraved based on custom graphics created in Adobe Illustrator. I also 3D printed the battery cover and wired the LED light strip, connecting it to a 9V battery and circular rocker switch.
Toy Truck/Bulldozer
I designed and 3D printed a Toy Bulldozer, modeled after a physical toy I owned. Using CAD software, I recreated the bulldozer in 3D, focusing on replicating its form and function before printing the final model. Similarly, I worked on a Toy Car Assembly, following the same process of 3D modeling and printing. For both cars I created Parts and Assembly Drawings.
