# Gib and Cotter Joint – Complete CAD Package This project presents a complete **Gib and Cotter Joint** designed and documented in **SolidWorks**. The objective was to develop an accurate mechanical assembly by following standard engineering design practices and manufacturing considerations. ### Scope of Work * 3D parametric modeling of all individual components * Complete assembly with accurate mates and positioning * 2D manufacturing drawings for each part * Assembly drawing with Bill of Materials (BOM) * Section and detail views for improved visualization * Dimensioning and annotations following engineering drawing standards ### Components Modeled * Rod * Strap * Gib * Cotter ### Software Used * SolidWorks ### Skills Demonstrated * Parametric Part Modeling * Mechanical Assembly Design * Engineering Drawings * Bill of Materials (BOM) * Assembly Documentation * Design for Manufacturing (DFM) * Machine Elements This project demonstrates my ability to create complete mechanical design packages, from individual component modeling to assembly documentation, while maintaining engineering accuracy and industry-standard drafting practices.
