Abstract
Acme Industries is a manufacturing company that develops and produces precision components for industrial, aerospace, and consumer applications. During this internship, the primary focus has been the use of computer-aided design (CAD) via SolidWorks to support the company’s manufacturing and design workflow. Over the course of the internship, work has involved converting existing technical drawings and specifications into accurate three-dimensional digital models that can be used for visualization, engineering analysis, and production. The projects have provided hands-on experience with industry CAD software and the design standards used in professional manufacturing environments. Weekly work includes interpreting 2D mechanical drawings, constructing detailed 3D parts, and ensuring that models match the required dimensions and tolerances for fabrication. These models contribute to improving documentation, enabling easier design revisions, and preparing components for future manufacturing processes. Through this experience, I have strengthened my skills in technical drawing interpretation, 3D modeling, and practical engineering design while supporting Acme Industries product development and manufacturing preparation.
