  • Replicated a full-scale 8 × 18 ft rocket transport trailer from scratch in SolidWorks for UW Rocketry, based on a real, existing trailer.
  • Took precise, direct measurements from the physical trailer and translated them into a fully dimensioned, accurate CAD model.
  • Designed the trailer specifically to integrate the rocket launch base, ensuring proper alignment and clearance.
  • Modeled the trailer at true scale to verify fit, clearances, and operational access before fabrication or modification.
  • Produced a clean, organized full-scale assembly suitable for design reviews, planning, and future modifications, while reducing fabrication ambiguity by defining precise dimensions, interfaces, and reference geometry.
