Arvin Peng developed and maintained advanced CAD models for the PURPL-Purdue/Turbopump project, focusing on the Gas Generator Injector and related assemblies. Over six months, he delivered iterative design upgrades, consolidated manufacturing data, and improved repository hygiene to streamline design-to-build cycles. Using SolidWorks and STEP, Arvin managed complex geometric modeling, version control, and cross-tool interoperability, ensuring data integrity and traceability across multiple revisions. His work included binary asset updates, assembly design refinements, and removal of obsolete files, which reduced integration risks and improved manufacturing readiness. The depth of his contributions established a robust foundation for future subsystem enhancements and collaboration.

April 2025: Focused asset/config optimization for Gas Generator Injector (TRBP_GasGenerator_Injector.prt) across PURPL-Purdue/Turbopump. No functional changes introduced; established asset baseline and cross-subsystem consistency to enable faster future feature work and safer deployments.

March 2025 for PURPL-Purdue/Turbopump: Implemented Gas Generator Injector CAD and manufacturing data updates, consolidating seven commits into a single user-facing improvement. This included updates to CAD models (GasGeneratorInjector_02-27.SLDPRT), injector subassembly refinements, an injector overhaul, and system-wide data alignment. Created translation logs for STEP to UG and synchronized binary part files to reflect manufacturing data, enabling smoother production handoffs and reducing downstream rework. No major bugs fixed this month; actions focused on data integrity, design accuracy, and cross-tool interoperability. Business impact includes improved design accuracy, faster production readiness, and stronger traceability of CAD assets. Technologies demonstrated: CAD/PLM workflows, STEP-to-UG translation, binary data handling, and version-controlled design updates.
