Designed a Horizontal Band Saw for Timber Processing in CATIA V5

Designed a horizontal band saw in CATIA V5 for timber processing. The machine cuts logs into precise boards using a continuous-loop blade. Still refining details—feedback welcome!

Key Components Modeled:

  • Two saw wheels (drive + driven)
  • Band saw blade (cuts + transfers torque)
  • Electric motor (primary drive)
  • V-belt & motor pulley (power transmission)
  • Four V-cut under rollers (guide material)
  • Cutter assembly
  • Holding structure (rigid frame)

Design Goal: Efficient power transmission, stable cutting, industrial durability.

Tech: CATIA V5 | Assembly Design | Mechanical Systems

Looking for: Feedback, questions, or suggestions.

Shock Absorber Modeled in CATIA V5 – Portfolio Project

Just finished modeling a twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber in CATIA V5. It combines coil spring support and hydraulic damping to absorb vibrations and impacts.

Components modeled: Piston, cylinder, piston rod, coil spring, and mounting bushings. Key skills demonstrated:

3D part modeling

Assembly constraints

Mechanical design for manufacturing

Great project for sharpening CAD skills and building a freelance portfolio.

Feedback welcome.
