Calvin Schur contributed to the PURPL-Purdue/Turbopump repository by delivering CAD design updates focused on pump assembly improvements and prototyping readiness. He created a new SolidWorks part to add back vanes to the kerosene PDR impeller, enhancing flow characteristics and supporting downstream manufacturing. Calvin also prepared binary CAD assets for both kerosene and LOX impellers, establishing a workflow for 3D printing and accelerating hardware prototyping cycles. His work demonstrated proficiency in SolidWorks, version control, and CAD data management. The depth of his contributions lay in enabling rapid iteration and integration with manufacturing teams, though his focus remained on feature delivery over bug resolution.
