TECHNICAL ILLUSTRATION
Shaper Studios
Sample of a surfboard shaping manual I was creating with the CEO of Shaper Studios in San Diego. Shaper Studios was a place that taught people how to hand-shape their very own surfboard.
This was to be a pitch to college to make this part of their curriculum, but the project never moved forward beyond what you see here. I hand-illustrated all the tools you see in CorelDRAW and generated the instructional layouts as well, working closely with the CEO of Shaper Studios on all the details.
Dispensing Pattern Illustrations
Custom 2D illustrations I created in CorelDRAW and Photoshop, depicting dispensing patterns that can be achieved with various applicator tips used on Nordson Asymtek valves. These applicator tips mount to mechanical, electronically-controlled valves that then get mounted to Nordson's CNC fluid dispensing machines. Collectively, these largely get used to apply adhesives and protective coatings to circuit boards in a superconductor or automotive manufacturing facility. These images were generated for a trade magazine.
Intellijet Valve
The Nordson Asymtek Intellijet Valve dispenses a variety of fluids in dot formations and is used primarily in superconductor manufacturing. These are an assortment of key images I produced for the Intellijet manual in SolidWorks Composer.
SC-450 Valve
The SC-450 valve is designed by Nordson Asymtek for dispensing precise, small-volume protective coatings on substrates (largely circuit boards) densely packed with components of varied heights. These are a random assortment of images I generated in SolidWorks Composer and CorelDRAW for the SC-450 manual.
SC-280 Valve
This is a Nordson Asymtek valve that applies protective coatings to circuit boards. The design allows for the valve to tilt and rotate, in order to access all the necessary angles. The images above are an assortment of technical illustrations I produced for the manual. The wires and hoses shown were all drawn manually by me in CorelDraw, after I first set-up the view in 3D within SolidWorks Composer.
Vortik VPs Valve
The Vortik series of valves by Nordson Asymtek dispense conductive epoxies, solder paste, and other adhesives used during electronics manufacturing for automotive applications and mobile devices. These are a random selection of images I generated for the Vortik VPs manual in SolidWorks Composer.
545 Valve
The 545 Valve is designed for low-viscosity, pourable materials, abrasive or filled materials and high flow applications. These images show the mounting of the valve to the Helios large volume fluid dispensing system. I first set-up the 3D images in SolidWorks Composer, then manually drew the wires and hoses in CorelDRAW and Photoshop.
