# Projects

This repository showcases a complete 3D CAD model of a projects, including all individual components and the final assembled model. It's designed to serve as a portfolio piece, demonstrating detailed mechanical design and assembly capabilities.

# Features

Detailed Components: Individual CAD files for each part of the files.

Full Assembly: A complete assembly model demonstrating the interaction and fit of all components.

Standard Formats: Provided in original SolidWorks native files and widely compatible STEP format.

Design Intent: Created as a practice project to demonstrate proficiency in SolidWorks.

# About Me

Hello! I'm Deven Gorkha, a student currently pursuing B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from P.E.S. Modern College of Engineering in Pune, Maharashtra, India. My primary CAD experience is with SolidWorks, but I am actively expanding my skillset and aim to become proficient in other CAD software soon.

This projects demonstrates my skills in mechanical component design, assembly modeling, and engineering visualization. Butterfly valves are commonly used in various industrial applications for regulating or isolating fluid flow, such as in HVAC systems, water treatment plants, chemical processing, and power generation.

Feel free to connect with me or explore my other projects!
