Working on Design of Hydrostatic bearings.

My work involved a lot of R&D as I was resonsible for designing Jigs and Fixtures for peculiar Heavy Machine parts which couldn’t be mounted on to conventional ones for fabrication. I was also responsible for preparing the work flow charts intended to reduce the production time and thus saving valuable machining time. I was also involved in a lot of Quality control operations (Destructive and Non-Destructive) where we had to test the incoming raw materials for the desired properties.

My work was to design 3d printable using Solidworks and CREO PTC which were Mobile phone cases, Mechanisms, Prototypes for larger models. I also assisted in building a low-cost 3D printer.

As an Undergraduate intern I learnt the use of various 3D modelling software’s and used them to create models appropriate to the industry standards. My projects included the design of a beverage crate, a pipe vice assembly and a pump housing case. I was also trained in the aspects of GD&T(Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).

(Summer 2012) I was exposed to design and functioning aspects of a Light Commercial Vehicles engine. I was successfully able to Disassemble and Assemble a Karizma ZMR engine (A light commercial 4-Stroke 200cc engine). I was also trained to meet the various Mechanical and Maintenance problems LCV engines faced.

I was introduced to several new manufacturing methods and CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) Machining. I was responsible for writing CNC codes for CNC boring Machine and Milling machine.
