Evan Striss worked on mechanical and CAD design for the UBC-Snowbots/Arm repository, delivering twelve new features and refining assemblies for robotic arm hardware over five months. He developed SolidWorks and DXF models for components such as keyed bevel gear screws, motor mounts, and spacers, focusing on tolerance management, alignment, and assembly reliability. Evan’s approach emphasized traceable, version-controlled CAD updates, cleanup of obsolete files, and integration-ready artifacts. Using skills in 3D modeling, CAD software, and mechanical engineering, he improved part fit, belt alignment, and subsystem maintainability, supporting smoother manufacturing, downstream testing, and integration with control software for robotics applications.
