02 / Project overview
Designed with the next stage in mind.
This project represents my interest in practical CAD design, where component geometry and technical documentation are developed with the intended manufacturing process in mind.
The work connects the design stage with laser-cutting preparation. The specific steps and software depend on the component, machine type, and required output.
Detailed specifications, dimensions, material information, and production parameters can be included when verified and approved for public presentation.
03 / Process
The design-to-production workflow
A general view of the stages involved. The exact process varies with project requirements and the tools used.
01
Understand
Review the design requirements, component geometry, and intended manufacturing application.
02
Design
Develop or refine the component geometry and prepare the relevant technical design.
03
Prepare
Prepare the appropriate design files for the intended laser-cutting workflow.
04
Deliver
Organize the required design outputs and supporting documentation for the next production stage.
