My Project at work
Ok....I thought I would share with you guys a little of my project at work.... Been working on this since January of this year. From designing it in a CAD program called Solidworks which is a 3d modeling software.......to seeing it come alive...... These were a few pics that I had on my camera but I will get some more of the inside of the stand so you all can see......
Here are a few pics of the stand after I had modeled it.........
Ok now here is what is looks like after coming to life......
Will get more pics of the detail in side for you to see......

This Test stand is a Pneumatic Test Stand which will test only the pneumatic components off the C-17 APU. So really there are about 6 components that will be tested on this stand. When I have a little more time I will name the parts for you and I will also show you some pictures of the Oil Test Stand that I design and that has already been delivered to the Air Force.......sorry to cut it short but gotta get back to Calibrating my test stand.....

The C-17 was just a design when I was in the Air Force. APUs (Alternate Power Units) were around though!
Keep up the great work!

I'm trying to learn how to use AutoCAD right now so I can make a model of the kit car I just started planning out. This program is impossible to figure out and of course, it doesn't have a tutorial like Flash or Photoshop
